Well, yeah.  I think that's the point.  In any rational world, you
wouldn't expect the loading of a class called Apache::DBI to affect the
methods of the class called DBI.

Apache::DBI is a weird class.  Most people never call any methods from
it.  For them, the incantation 'use Apache::DBI;' is pure voodoo
programming.
