I think it'd be best if the driver module could rely on the object having
a strftime() method. That'd be a minimal interface requirement that'd
satisfy basically all needs.

The problem with that is that then the particular $sth would have to have the necessary column bound explicitly:

$sth->bind_param($param_num, $bind_value,
{ type => DATE_TIME });

While that'd do-able, it's annoying. I'd rather see if there wasn't a way to make this transparent to DBI. I'm not sure there's an easy answer, though, and I'm probably just getting way too far ahead of myself. ;-)
