Good news. And since Matt hasn't brought it up here yet, I will.
Yesterday, Matt Sergeant posted DBD::SQLite v1.0 on CPAN, which is the first version to incorporate SQLite v3.x.
Suffice it to say, you actually can start using SQLite 3 in Perl now.
And this means that *I* can now start putting it through its paces, and writing programs to use it.
