Regardless of how it works under the hood, if I set an attribute to $x, then ask for that attribute back, I should get $x, unless the docs indicate that the given attribute does something based on $x.
No, not with databse handle attributes AFAIK. DBI leaves the handling of all lower_cased handle attributes (method attributes are a different thing) to the drivers. If you set an attribute that the driver doesn't know about, the driver shouldn't be expected to give it back to you. In fact, the driver probably shouldn't allow you to set it. stvn you might consider adding code to ::db::STORE that dies if someone tries to set an unknown attribute.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
