DBI and DBD::mysql pseudohash results set?

Hi,

I was thinking about loading the rows of a $sth results set into a
pseudohash so that the columns could be accessed by either the column name
or the column index.

This functionality is supported by a pseudohash

Snipet from http://perlmonks.thepen.com/19636.html

$struct = [{foo => 1, bar => 2}, "FOO", "BAR"];
$struct->{foo}; # same as $struct->[1], i.e. "FOO"
$struct->{bar}; # same as $struct->[2], i.e. "BAR"

__END__

However, I heard that the way pseudohashes work may change, and
pseudohash code may become obsolete or broken.

Snipet from
http://www.perl.com/pub/a/2001/05/p5pdigest/THISWEEK-2001052 0.html

Michael Schwern asked that pseudo-hashes should be removed from Perl 5.8
and onwards.

__END__

Is the above style of lookup already handled by DBI? You can do it in PHP.

Any feedback would be welcome,

All the best,
Dan.
