I've talked about it in the past but couldn't find anything with a quick google. These two give some idea though: http://search.cpan.org/src/TIMB/DBI_AdvancedTalk_2004/sld083.htm http://search.cpan.org/src/TIMB/DBI-1.43/t/60preparse.t There's a basic preparse() implemented in C within the DBI but it doesn't support the brace-escape format and needs to be redone in pure-perl. That's high on the list for DBI v2. Tim.
