in thread A brief survey of the DBI usability layer modules on the CPAN

Oh dear, source filters. Well, maybe in Perl6, but for now I’m not putting any of those in my production code, sorry. :-)

Besides that non-specific objection, after a brief perusal of the docs, I have the same complaint as with DBIx::ContextualFetch: the choice of data structures is limited. I really do sometimes want a flattened list with the data from all rows.

Makeshifts last the longest.

    As I understand it, SQL::PreProc makes quite controlled use of source filters - it specifies what it will and won't parse and mostly (or completely?) doesn't attempt to parse perl so it avoids the dangerous bits of source filters.
