I am having problems getting the DBI drivers for mSQL working on my
Debian Linux 1.3.1 system. I am using mSQL 2.0.3, DBI 0.91, and
Msql-modules-1.1814.
I have installed mSQL and the DBI module successfully (I think). Now I
am trying to install the Msql driver module. I call perl Makefile.PL
and make successfully, but make test fails. Below is the output of
make test with TEST_VERBOSE turned on:
make[1]: Entering directory `/tmp/Msql-modules-1.1814/DBD-mSQL'
make[1]: Entering directory `/tmp/Msql-modules-1.1814/MsqlPerl'
make[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/Msql-modules-1.1814/MsqlPerl'

$verbose=1; runtests @ARGV;' t/*.t
t/00baseBare word found where operator expected at
/usr/local/lib/site_perl/DBI.pm line 477, near $fh neat_list
(Missing operator before neat_list?)
... snip the first test, t/00base, runs ok
BTW; the line being referred to in the warning about DBI.pm (line 477)
is:
print $fh neat_list($ref,$maxlen,$fsep);
As neat_list is a subroutine call, I assume this isn't a problem; at any
rate, the Perl debugger says that DBI.pm's syntax is fine. All of the
tests print this warning, so I have removed it from their output below.
The second test generates the following output:
t/10dsnlist.
Cannot connect: Unknown database test
Either your server is not up and running or you have no
permissions for acessing the DSN DBI:mSQL:test.
This test requires a running server and write permissions.
Please make sure your server is running and you have
permissions, then retry.

Test returned status 10 (wstat 2560)
These tests all return the same error as above:
t/20createdrop, t/30insertfetch, t/40bindparam, t/40listfields,
t/40nulls, t/40numrows
t/50chopblanks
Then the next test prints this:
t/40blobs..

skipping test on this platform
Then there are a few tests (t/50commit, t/ak-dbd) that print this:
t/50commit..
Can't call method func without a package or object reference at
t/mSQL.dbtest line 99.

Finally, several tests print a message like this:
t/akmiscMsql's message: Unknown database test at
t/akmisc.t line 1 21.
Cannot select database 'test': Unknown database test.
Please make sure that a database test exists
and that you have permission to read and write on it.

Things that I have checked: YES, THE SERVER IS RUNNING. I can see it
listed with the command ps -ax, and I am able to create a database
using the msqladmin utility. As far as write permission goes, because I
don't have an ACL file yet (since I don't really have any databases
created except as tests) mSQL prints the message that permission is
global read/write, so it seems like that shouldn't be an issue. The
thing I'm more uncertain about is where mSQL is supposed to find these
databases called test in the first place, and I'm not sure how to even
determine this.
If anyone can help with this problem, I'd really appreciate it.
P.S. -- To those on the Debian list who would like to respond to this,
I'm not on the list to to a problem with my ISP's handling of the huge
amounts of mail it generated, so please respond via email; Thanks.
