Thanks for these pointers, and also for the sample code: very helpful.
I can't _believe_ I missed the DBI->data_sources() method ... there it
is, right at the very top of the DBI manual page. Urrrh! I think I
have an excuse with tables() though -- I've just downloaded a new DBI
and it's marked as *NEW*, so I think it really wansn't there last time
I looked.
Thanks.
