Yeah, I'm a new user but....

I really think that even the *minor* stuff would be great to get out
there, sooner rather than later.

I sent Tony a patch for a *minor* problem (one place that could/should
have been using _croak() was using die()).  Pretty trivial, and he
said he'd roll it into the next release.

But it was coincidentally on the code path that I'd selected to try to
figure out if my custom _croak() was doing the right thing, and I
probably wasted an hour trying to figure out if it was something I'd
gummed up in DBD::AnyData (which isn't clearly a functional backend
for Class::DBI), or Exception::Class, or my mod_perl/mason world,
or....  In the end, _croak() wasn't even being used.

Sure, it's only an hour, but I took the time to report it because I
thought it would be useful to save some other poor Class::DBI
beginner the hour that I spun.

If some of the other doc/... changes are similar, I'd vote heartily
that you put them out in the mainstream where folks can find them.  I
think that it would be *very* useful.

thanks,

g.

ps.  in case I haven't said it, Thank you (and all who've contributed)
for making such a useful tool!
