> DBD::mysql is the Perl5 Database Interface driver for the MySQL database. In other words: DBD::mysql is an interface between the Perl programming language and the MySQL programming API that comes with the MySQL relational database management system

(emphasis mine).

seems like the author forked the documentation too.

> it gives the impression that the fork was on an abandoned module

Where exactly? All I found is:

> In 2018 unreleased version 4.042_01 of DBD::mysql was forked and DBD::MariaDB was created to fix long standing Unicode bugs and MariaDB support. Currently it is developed in GoodData and maintained by Pali (pali@cpan.org).

Looks like a company's fork to fix particular needs, much like with Cpanel and JSON.

Compare Cpanel::JSON::XS
