Possibly, depends if you're going to want to get data back out for use in

If someone could suggest a perl library that'll decode html entities into
ascii characters, then we could add in an option to do that. That way
people can choose

It already uses prepared statements for everything, so I'm not sure where
the problem's coming from (it should already be fine on the sql injection
front, assuming the database actually supports prepared statements and
parameters properly, which postgres/mysql certainly do)
