Glad you made it OK.  I hope your trip was to your liking.

Interesting concept, these modules.  Reworking DBIx::Connect to be 
object-oriented has some really nice advantages for keeping state 
between invocations, and especially if DBIx::Connect has DBI::db in its 
@ISA.

However, all caching schemes have some inherent limitations.  I see the 
primary usage scenario for DBIx::Connect as being for maintenance 
scripts and large application configs.  DBIx::Connect as currently 
implemented doesn't add any value to DBI; I suppose we could add some 
methods like DSN, user, password, and Attributes, but what I really 
don't want is some linkage to DBI and knowing too much about what sorts 
of parameters go into a connection.

I am interested in what you're thinking of doing.  Do you have a solid 
enough plan to implement at this time?
