Well. I do bet that it is actually a "This isn't working; what am I doing wrong?" Placeholders do work with "EXEC StoredProc ..." with MS SQL using DBD::ODBC. I'm doing that all the time. So if Win did include some code exhibiting the "bug" we could tell him what is he donig wrong.

Not to mention that if there were a bug the maintainer's going to need a bit more detail than "placeholders don't work" in order to reproduce it at the least (and preferably a short snippet, along with any supporting structure, that reliably reproduces the problem).

I disagree. The question was not "This isn't working; what am I doing wrong?" it was "I've found a bug; how do I alert the maintainers?" Posting code is not appropriate in such a case. Of course, it could have been an XY Problem, but jumping to the conclusion that it was is not justified.
I disagree, too. To paraphrase what someone else wrote, "whenever anyone claims a Perl bug, the first thing I suspect is a hardware issue (probably a loose nut behind the keyboard)". Now, this may not be the case, but if the one reporting the alleged bug were a renown Perl hacker, it would be easier for me to believe it. When one is renown for not being a Perl hacker at all, let alone anything above the bare newbie, I would expect him or her to post some evidence and/or to investigate whether the "bug" is actually a bug.
So I am speaking out of prejudice, but hey, an informed one.
