That *is* an option, but that ticket showd me the "flaw" in 1.632, which - not on purpose - surfaced the bug in DBD::CSV, as it only enabled the misbehavior on DBD::File::VERSION >= 0.43 That version got bumped for the f_dir security fix, and IMHO adding this fix warrants a small wait If you agree, I'll add some tests this weekend > Tim. -- H.Merijn Brand http://tux.nl Perl Monger http://amsterdam.pm.org/ using perl5.00307 .. 5.21 porting perl5 on HP-UX, AIX, and openSUSE http://mirrors.develooper.com/hpux/ http://www.test-smoke.org/ http://qa.perl.org http://www.goldmark.org/jeff/stupid-disclaimers/
