:Name: DriverDirectory
:Scope: module
:Type: word
:Default: module=none
:Required?: no
:Introduced: Not documented

Description
-----------
Set this global option only when libdbi cannot find its drivers
automatically. It tells libdbi where the driver modules are installed.

Most systems ship libdbi-driver packages that register the directory
properly. Only installations that place drivers in nonstandard paths need
this parameter.
