According to MetaCPAN, the current authors and distributions that depend
on Test::Database are:
- BARBIE
CPAN-Testers-Data-Generator

Labyrinth
CPAN-Testers-Data-Uploads
CPAN-Testers-Data-Addresses
CPAN-Testers-WWW-Reports-Mailer

Dancer-Plugin-Interchange6
Dancer-Plugin-Nitesi
Nitesi-DBI
- MLAWREN

SQL-DB
- CFAERBER
DateTime-Format-DBI
- JAME
FTN-Database (does not actually use Test::Database)
- ADAMK
Xtract
- SILASMONK
CGI-Application-Plugin-PageLookup
(in CPAN ratings, the author says "Please don't use this module. It
will be deleted eventually.")
I think it should be fairly easy to obtain some collaboration from the first
three authors at least.
Looking at some of the existing test suites using Test::Database, I've
noted the following:
- it should be possible to make negative queries (e.g. "any DSN, but
not for SQLite2 or DBM)
- I've seen the following used in several places:
$handle->{driver}->drop_database($handle->name);
