"you'll just get 'no attribute can be found,,...", which is cryptic to say
the least!

=item 1 add a dump backup to csv

a backup mechanism for your db to a regular text csv file.

=item 1 clean up tests 'skip if module X' not installed

(one of sqlite3 or mysql is required). currently dies if DBD::SQLite not
installed

=item 1 support multiple categories from LoadDB

how to load multipul categories from a csv file? 
(try to avoid somthing ugly in our csv file format). or maybe don't support
this.

=item 1 (possibly) support long/short quotes output (see 'man fortune')

=head1 BUGS AND LIMITATIONS

The CRUD stuff is weak for sure.
(i.e. add_quote, update_quote, delete_quote, get_quote_id)

For example, currently you can only get the quote id from the exact quote

In the future, I may just expose the DBI::Class object directly
to those that need/want it.

=begin comment

get_quotes_contain  uses %search% to do it's pattern mattching, so that will
miss some obvious searches, which it should find.

i.e.
'Bill' will not find 'Bill' , beginning and endings of words will be off.

XXX - look at search_like, instead of what you are doing now

=end comment

currently, I am not encapsulating the record data structure used 
by LoadDB->write. (i.e. it's a typical perl5 ojbect, the blessed hash)

I will for sure be encapsulating all data in a future version.
(so, don't have code that does $self->{record}->{name} = 'value', or you won't
be happy down the road). Instead use $self->get_record('name') (getter) or
$self->set_record(name => 'my attrib') (setter)


When we are using a SQLite database backend ('regular' local usage), we 
should probably be using, ORLite instead of Class::DBI 
(although we have not seen any issues yet).

Please report any bugs or feature requests to C<bug-acme-quotedb at rt.cpan.org>, or through
the web interface at L<http://rt.cpan.org/NoAuth/ReportBug.html?Queue=ACME-QuoteDB>.  
I will be notified, and then you'll automatically be notified of progress on your bug as I make changes.

=head1 ERRATA

    Q: Why did you put it in the ACME namespace?
    A: Seemed appropriate. I emailed modules@cpan.org and didn't get a
       different reaction.

    Q: Why did you write this?
    A: At a past company, a team I worked on a project with had a test suite, 
    in which at the completion of successful tests (100%), a 'wisenheimer' 
    success message would be printed. (Like a quote or joke or the like)
    (Interestingly, it added a 'fun' factor to testing, not that one is needed 
    of course ;). It was hard to justify spending company time to find and 
    add decent content to the hand rolled process, this would have helped.

    Q: Don't you have anything better to do, like some non-trivial work?
    A: Yup

    Q: Hey Dood! why are u uzing Class::DBI as your ORM!?  Haven't your heard 
       of L<DBIx::Class>?
    A: Yup, and I'm aware of 'the new hotness' L<Rose::DB>. If you use this 
       module and are unhappy with the ORM, feel free to change it. 
       So far L<Class::DBI> is working for my needs.
