I wish to propose a patch for DBI. I have patched in the methods but
don't know how to patch in new DBI attributes?
Please can you advise how to add new attributes to the DBI
specification? Basically I want to add an attribute, say
DBI->{myAttribute}
which would have a default value at the class level. The attribute is
transparently accessible at every level (class, and handle). The
default value can be overridden by a DBD or set by the user on a per
handle basis:
$dbh->{myAttribute} = 'Overrides class/DBD value but doesn't change it';
$sth->{myAttribute} = 'Overrides dbh value but doesn't change it';
I've looked over the DBI source but can't figure out where/how to
declare such attributes
