Actually - I don't practically care, and in fact I'm doing things that are 
unsafe...But, I agree, others may think differently ;)

It's interesting but its probably a untrivial effort to make DBI itself

version) and adding a mode that would disable all unSafe activity (such as 
file operations etc etc)...
