I suspect that’s a bug in DBI.available\_drivers, since that method was  
written before gems existed.

I’ll take a look at that tonight.

In the meantime, even though it’s not reported as being available, you  
probably have it installed. Try and connect to a database and see what  
happens.

Dan

I don’t know if this is in reference to the original DBI or Dan’s  
rewrite, but I can confirm that the original DBI software is not able to  
find DBD drivers installed via gems.

Shouldn’t be hard to fix tho.
