| theblue | Randal: Of course, of course. |
| Daveman | oh |
| theblue | Randal: What's O'reilly's relation with Perl, exactly? |
| agussman | cfedde: so for one dbh I try to prepare multiple sql statements |
| cfedde | agussman: then you need a $sth for each. |
| action | Randal . o O (hashes don't have SQL) |
| Randal | . o O (hashes don't have SQL) |
| theblue | Randal: Is it as a sponsor, or as a central point, or what? |
| agussman | cfedde: a dbh or sth? |
| Daveman | Gumbybrain: O'Reilly? |
| GumbyBRAIN | Hehe why not keep up at o'reilly, he asked about the perlpodtut thing. |
| Randal | I'm not speaking for ORA or even ORM |
| cfedde | agussman: sth |
| Randal | I keep getting the initials wrong now |
| agussman | cfedde: because that part has worked before cfedde: it's only when I swithced autocommit off that this happened |
| theblue | Randal: I know, co-authored it with many others. |
| agussman | infi: thanks I will read about that |
| Randal | ORM published my first book (the camel) |
| theblue | Randal: I'm just going off on random tangents now, it's late. |

| Daveman | :O |
| cfedde | agussman: I think it's time for an example. |
| theblue | Randal: /me asks Amazon... |
| agussman | cfedde: one sec |
| theblue | Randal: So you're sitting in the center of a huge vat of Perl code, pretty much? |
