Subject: optimized C functions hinder subclassing
Hi: This was a long-standing bug in Debian which wasn't forwarded here (to my knowledge)... Basically, because the C functions are used internally in DBI, you can't override them from Perl. The original reporter writes: "It would be nice if there was a way to turn off these C functions, or if they could make use of dbixst_bounce_method() more often. (Maybe the Perl methods could figure out via caller() whether they were overridden or not, and optimize themselves away if possible?)" The original bug was here: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=381517 Cheers, Jonathan
