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-masked]>!

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-masked]>

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.
