why doesn't inforce have a package declaration?

i.e.  package inforce;

and you dont need #!/usr/bin/perl at the top for modules.

Also, why isnt 'inforce.pm' loading the Class DBI modules instead of the
startup.pl script..

We have Class::DBI working fine under mod_perl - I think its just your
implementation that needs refinement :)
