This make sense, unfortunately begin_work is very new (DBI 1.19 or 1.20), at
least it is newer than the last DBIx::Recordset release. This actually
explains why it isn't already in :-)

Should be possible. I keep it in mind for the next release.

Yes it is ignored, because DBI doesn't have a way to iterate thru all
attributes, so you don't have the possibility to retrive the !DBIAttr from a
DBI database handle.
Thanks for the patch, will be in the next release
