# DBD::Gofer::Policy::classic(3pm)

The 'classic' policy for DBD::Gofer

## NAME

DBD::Gofer::Policy::classic - The 'classic' policy for DBD::Gofer

## SYNOPSIS

```
  $dbh = DBI->connect("dbi:Gofer:transport=...;policy=classic", ...)
```

The `"classic"` policy is the default DBD::Gofer policy, so need not be included in the DSN.

## DESCRIPTION

Temporary docs: See the source code for list of policies and their defaults.

In a future version the policies and their defaults will be defined in the pod and parsed out at load-time.
