No.  interfaces/perl5 is a stand-alone Perl client library that is
unrelated (more or less anyway) to DBD/DBI.  DBI might be better,
but that doesn't necessarily mean we should abandon support for
the non-DBI library.

*Somebody* is maintaining it, because the version on CPAN is not the
same as ours.  (Which appears to be sufficient proof that there's
still interest in it...)

It would be good to get our copy back in sync with CPAN.

BTW, this is exactly what I was concerned about w.r.t. adopting the DBI
library into our CVS: if it drifts away from what's on CPAN then we
have a problem.
