<div>I've found DBD::MariaDB a 100% drop in replacement - even for MySQL users, it is backward compatible (it actually forked out of DBD::mysql v4) and it was designed to just drop in and change the DBI calls to it. This is on Linux, but I find it hard to imagine that *BSD's would be any different.</div>

<div>We are doing just that here with no other changes, zero issues on dozens of administrative scripts that use it (including users/host management).</div>
