Ima::DBI is kinda in Namespace Limbo.  The CPAN maintainers don't want
to crack open a new Ima::* namespace (and I don't blame them) and I
can't think of a better name.  DBIx::Ima was suggested, but that ruins
the pun!  If anyone could think of a better name, please let me know!

So, where is it?  Its in my author directory:  CPAN/authors/id/MSCHWERN/

The CPAN shell finds it:  perl -MCPAN -e 'install Ima::DBI'

BTW  You'll be wanting to upgrade that DBI.
