I don't normally post "me too" posts, but I think that what Bruce says
here is extremely important. The more drivers can rely on a single,
well-developed, and stable API to create a variety of drivers, the less
work *everyone* has to do. I think that this kind of pragmatic
componentization (to coin a phrase) can only be to the benefit of
PostgreSQL.

PS: And for those who really want a Pure Perl implementation of a
PostgreSQL driver in Perl, I suggest you take a look at helping out
with DBD::PgPP:
