Subject: doc bug: what does "select" return?
Hello, I was just reading the docs for the "select" function in DBIx::Abstract 1.001. A lot of detail is provided about what the inputs to the functions are, but it wasn't clear what the function returned. Thanks! -mark

This is true. Originally it returned undef. Now-a-days it returns the DBIx::Abstract object. This lets you do things like: my($foo) = $dbh->select('foo','table',{id=>12})->fetchrow_array(); which has become common a common idiom for it. It'll be documented in the next release.
