One concern just popped into my head... I'd like to not have to depend on very recent versions of Test::More. Can you look into that and make recommendations about what version of Test::More we should use as a minimum?
This brings up a point of how backwards compatible do you (Tim) want
this all too be? I assume that DBI needs to support the widest possible
audience,
Yes. As far as practical.
but is there any official "must be supported" list that we should know about?
Perl 5.6.1 is the official minimum. I started using Test::More a few releases ago even though its not part of 5.6.1 and no one complained.
The most "very recent" version of Test::More is from August 2002.
I agree with this, I think the furthest back I would want to go is 0.40
(Dec 2001), since that was when cmp_ok was added, and I use that pretty
heavily.
I've added that version to PREREQ_PM in Makefile.PL
