Short version:
Please download build test *and install* DBI 1.613_71, then download build
and test any compiled drivers you use to check they work with DBI 1.613_71.
Let us know about any failures *and* successes.
Also grep the source code of the driver to see if it defines
PERL_POLUTE. If it does, let us know.
Long version:
Perl 5.13.3+ removes support for PERL_POLUTE. PERL_POLUTE enables use of
old-style variables names, without the PL_ prefix (e.g. sv_undef instead
of PL_sv_undef).
The DBI has, for many years, enabled PERL_POLUTE mode in DBIXS.h, so
it's likely that compiled drivers are use some old-style variables names.
These drivers won't work with Perl 5.13.3+.
To aid testing for this, the DBI 1.613_71 doesn't enabled PERL_POLUTE mode.
So please test compiled drivers against DBI 1.613_71.
I didn't try to build them with DBI 1.613_71, but I did a grep search for
PERL_POLLUTE in the latest CPAN versions of DBD-SQLite and DBD-Pg.
* DBD-SQLite-1.30_05 *does* #define PERL_POLLUTE, once in SQLiteXS.h
* DBD-Pg-2.17.1 does not have any PERL_POLLUTE
Obviously, then, DBD::SQLite will need an update to fix this problem, though it
sounds like the fix should be some relatively simple symbol renaming.
I could probably do this, but not until at least a few days from now when I have
more time to do that *and* test it.
