Gerald, I wanted to ask the same: is Recordset on topic here? I believe
it's OK since Recordset is designed for Embperl and used mostly together
and anyway, you don't want to read two lists if can avoid it, would you?
What do you think and what other people on this list think?

In my experience Recordset is extremly cool but still quite young. That
means it's mostly working but it lacks the polish of the finished
product: while I don't think I have found any real bug in Embperl ever
(since 1.0), with Recordset it's still quite often. I started with
Recordset to get things done fast and while writing _is_ much faster
than plain DBI, debugging can be sometime a bit painfull. On the other
hand Recordset has improved rather fast lately and B21 is supposed to be
much better (and B20 already was much better then B19 I started to work
with). Also I hear docs are much better in B21, which is also a big win.
Of four my projects I tried to use Recordset for only one actually is
Recordset based, but it works and going online next week. I'm planning
to use Recordset much more in the future and I don't mind spending some
time working around current Recordset problem (and maybe even finish few
patches I promised Gerald long ago ;-). Hope this helps.
