Is the UnixODBC.pm mentioned in your sig the package in question? As
the maintainer of UnixODBC for Debian, I might be persuaded to sponsor or
maintain such a package; but I'm not exactly clear on what advantages
this module provides over the more widely used DBD/DBI interface. Are
there ODBC modules available for GNU/Linux systems for RDBMS that can't
be accessed through DBD?
