Probably because you can accomplish the same with execute(@params) :-)

Subject: Silly question re: bind_param vs: bind_columns
I'm looking at DBI 1.14 and wondering why isn't there a bind_params
method like:
$rc = $sth->bind_params(@refs_to_params); #dies if wrong number of
params
or
$rc = $sth->bind_params(%hash_of_params_with_field_names_or_numbers);
#dies if hash key mismatch
It seems like an obvious idea, so I assume there's a good reason it
hasn't been implemented.
