I can't say I'm overly surprised; I tried to use last_insert_id for
auto-increment columns in DBIx::Class and ran into a widely varying level
of support from different DBDs - with the result that DBIx::Class requires
the loading of an auto-PK plugin for the appropriate DB (although one of
us *will* get round to guessing it off the DBD at some point :)
