I think DBI is great but there is one thing I would like to see added. I love being able to fetch a row into a hash that is automatically keyed by field name (fetchrow_hashref) but I also love being able to fetch all the rows with one call (fetchall_arrayref). How about a fetchall_arrayofhashref to save me using the code below everywhere.

 
my @rows;
while (my $result=$sth->fetchrow_hashref) {
    push (@rows, $result);
}

No biggie and I'm sure there are many more pressing issues I just reckon it would be cool. May require a more catchy name than fetchall_arrayofhashref;)
