MsqlPerl is out of alpha! The new release comes with

a new interface
   more intuitive, less to type, will most probably allow an emulation
   of MsqlPerl with an underlying DBD::Msql (expect an announcement for
   DBD::Msql by Alligator RSN). The main point of the interface is, that
   it hides the object attributes behind methods.

a memory leak less
   Thanks to Dan McGuirk <[email protected]>!

full backwards compatibility
   1.00 will most probably be the last version that supports the old-style
   interface with direct access to the object attributes. Unless you speak
   up, of course, I will change the underlying code and thusly the object
   structure in future releases.

support for NULL fields
   Thanks to Dirk.vanGulik <[email protected]>

Get it from

   ftp://franz.ww.tu-berlin.de/pub/perl/MsqlPerl-1.00.tar.gz
or  ftp://bond.edu.au/pub/Minerva/msql/Contrib/MsqlPerl-1.00.tar.gz

If you find old releases of MsqlPerl on any server, please let the
administrator and/or me know! There are too many a1 versions still
around, which are practically useless today.
