That's true, but I stand by my recommendation for David to submit a bug
report and patch via RT. Switching to last_insert_id isn't a panacea. It
won't eliminate the need for database-specific CDBI classes for all
databases, but it (presumably) will work for more databases than the current
code and it would make Class::DBI database agnostic, which it really should be.
