Only if you cast your tables as the appropriate type (eg; InnoDB),
and your distribution hasn't screwed you out of that by setting the
appropriate my.cnf options (eg; skip-innodb is default in debian).

OK, I like the environment variable thing. That gives me the
opportunity to warn a user installing manually via CPAN that they don't have
to install SQLite2 if they don't want.
I'm going to chew on this for awhile (and get away from the keyboard
