So, to restate the question again... does anyone use these specific
methods in the DBI class (*not* on handles):
DBI-err
or DBI-errstr
in their code?
Eek, I confess to finding a couple of instances in some of my scripts. But
exclusively after DBI-connect calls though; once

And you don't need a book to get the above, look at the pod synopsis:
$rc = $h-err;
$str = $h-errstr;
$rv = $h-state;
And later on:
$DBI::err
Equivalent to $h-err.
$DBI::errstr
Equivalent to $h-errstr
Tim Bunce:
Can you remember what made you think they were?
Anybody else out there using them?
Rob Meyer:
I use them all over the place, too.
What made me think they were standard is p. 95 of the Feb. 2000 edition
of
the Cheetah book, which describes them in quite a bit of detail:

I know we have code that uses $h-errstr(). I assume that is not going
away. These are documented in the DBI pod SYNOPSIS section:

$rc = $h-err;
