PR = problem report? sure, just point me in the right direction.

oh ok -  since I'm a bit ignorant in that regard, I wasn't aware that it's not 
supposed to work. But the DBIC D:P:A:E provider I have does work - and what 
you say probably explains a warning message I see when starting the test 
server if I set log=core (but I haven't tried to chase that down yet).

that it doesn't inherit from D2::Plugin)?

I'd offer to try &  help, but don't really have a clue as to what might 
required.
