Thanks.
There's probably no need for both attributes and a method call.
Just a method call (that can be subclassed) should suffice.
Something like
sub quote_identifier {
shift;
return join '.', map { qq{"$_"} } @_;
}
would be enough to both quote single names and add dots for multiple names.
Right?
Tim.
