pass a -Dno_last_insert_id to the compiler is using DBI 1.42.
Sadly the DBI doesn't define a C preprocessor macro giving the version.
I'll add this to the DBI v2 ToDo.

This document aims to provide a high level overview of the future direction of the DBI.
It outlines the broad categories of changes, along with some rational,
but does not go into implementation details and ignores many more
minor planned

Tim and I talked about long term plans for this, where the user might
specify in advance which columns he'd like UTF-8 turned on for, or some
(I thought horrible) heuristic method where the DBD automagically
decides to turn on the flag if it detects data that it can turn

Enough already, please. More heat than light is being generated.
The DBI interface is not going to change significantly anytime soon.
If anyone
as the version that'll be re-engineered with a perl6 API. Though in
practice it may work out that DBI v3 is a 'plain' port to perl6 and
it's DBI v4 that gets an API makeover. But that's all some way off yet.
Meanwhile, now isn't the time to be getting into debates about such

an official release with a function that does that.
It'll be set_internal_handle() and they'll probably be a get_internal_handle()
(though tied(%$h) does that already :-)

Never say never, or even will not :)
More like the primary focus of DBI v2.0 is to enhance the DBI-to-DBD
interface so that ...
it will pave the way
for v2.x to introduce them and introduce (a fairly limited number of)
changes for DBD developers. See (a) for details.
