Hmmm. I count 47 different DBD modules. That means 47 DT::F modules?

(You're right about the confusion. Unless we could train end users to
trust DT::F::DBI. The Perlmonks discussion that prompted this thread
started when an end user made the 'mistake' to look only at DT::F::DBI,
and not at the MySQL module, so it _is_ possible...)
