But ni one would say that. People rarely use the prefix when talking about drivers. They don't say "dbdix" or "dbdsyb". Note that the registered prefix used for driver-private attributes and methods need not match the driver name. e.g., DBD::Sybase has a prefix of "syb_". > > I don't understand your concerns over using mongo_. > > I think that mongo_init() was my primary concern, but upon reflection, I > don't understand my concerns either.
