Re: DB -> C++ -> XS/Swig -> DBI -> Perl

[salva]

You could fork the DBD source code for your particular database and replace the part where the connection is set up for some other that calls that C++ library.

It is difficult to give you a more detailed response without knowing the details (which database is being used, what do you get from that C++ library, etc.).

Maybe you could just open the binary object for that C++ library from Perl and use a couple of regular expressions to extract the database user and password!
