Hi, I cannot use DBI the way you describe:

use DBI;

my $dh->

does not give "connect" as a possible completion. It only gives things like "installed_drivers" and "installed_methods".

I don't know much about Perl, so if I'm leaving something out, please let me know.

Hi, perl DBI is a little peculiar, one can say that connect method is actually the default constructor for this "class", you can regard connect as DBI "new" method. I don't know Komodo IDE internals, but probably your Perl guys can figure out how to get all DBI exported symbols.

Note to self: the Perl stdlib catalog's DBI blob does have a connect method that does not appear to be included in the default DBI completions. Need to investigate that.
