FYI I'm planning on making the next release (1.51) be the last that
officially supports perl 5.6.

This is partly to make it easier to implement changes in future
releases that improve performance with threaded perls. This will benefit
ActiveState perl users, people using DBI with mod_perl2, and users
O/S distributions that ship perl pre-built with threads enabled.

Tim.
