5PM EST.  Got it.  I'll be there, barring any work-related issues.

That was part of my approach for some of my initial doc changes.  I
discovered DBIC about 2 years ago, so I've tried to make note of stuff that
sounds confusing from my stumbling from it.  Hence my changes around
"row" vs. "result", inheritance, etc.

(That branch is ready, but I'll save it for another thread.)

Probably need to figure out how long we are supporting that, and what
kind of indicators would we check to figure out when this version would
be too old.  (For example, oldest Debian release that uses Perl 5.8.)
