its a dbi problem.  another symptom of this is that the dbi engine can
only handle one statement at a time. its not a database limitation,
obviously, but a flaw in the core of dbi.  solutions we've kicked around
are rewriting dbi (do i really look that high?) and a proxy to dbi (what 
i've just proposed here).  when perl6 comes out and threading is the
default, dbi will have to be totally rewritten to properly support
threading, at which time this limitation between poe and dbi will go away.

yeah. esp for some other more adequately funded projects :)

i'm going to write a very iamb specific model and then ponder generalizing
it for other fun and evil purposes.
