The DBI::* namespace is reserved for modules that form part of the DBI. The DBIx::* namespace is for modules that extend the functionality of the DBI.
So DBIx::SimpleTools would be better, only "SimpleTools" isn't a very meaningful module name. There are many DBI related modules that seem to provide similar functionality (not to mention that selectall_arrayref can return data just as your "handiest feature" does). Perhaps you could discuss yours on the dbi-users mailing list to see how they compare and get a better feel for the unique features of yours. The ARS functionality probably ought to be in a separate module. Tim.
