Except in the DBIx::Class, Class::DBI and plain DBI apps I've brought back
to production quality stability by removing it.
There's no "implication" - sometimes it doesn't work. Mostly it does. Producing
a repeatable test case has proven pretty much impossible due to the hackiness
of the implementation. Since I usually -can- modify the calling code I
just switch it over to using a DBIC storage object to manage the $dbh and
move on.
