Hi,
Reading the DBI 1.16 README it states :
Build, test and install Perl 5 (preferably 5.004_04 or later).
But when I try to build and test DBI 1.16 with 5.00404 it breaks
during testing like this:
Modification of a read-only value attempted at blib/lib/DBI.pm line
1130.
This happens consistently on Solaris 2.5.1 & 2.7, Irix 6.5 and
Linux 2.2 & 2.4. All tests are successful with perl 5.00503 and
perl 5.6.1 on all these platforms.
The actual test output looks like this :
t/basics............ok
t/dbidrv............ok
t/examp.............Modification of a read-only value attempted at
blib/lib/DBI.pm line 1130.
dubious
Test returned status 2 (wstat 512, 0x200)
DIED. FAILED tests 65-127
Failed 63/127 tests, 50.39% okay
t/meta..............ok
t/proxy.............skipping test on this platform
t/shell.............skipping test on this platform
t/subclass..........ok
Failed Test Status Wstat Total Fail Failed List of failed
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Failed 1/7 test scripts, 85.71% okay. 63/185 subtests failed, 65.95%
okay.
If I edit t/examp.t to comment out the mortal failures I have
to comment out several calls to fetchall_arrayref, selectall_hashref
and fetchrow_hashref, but not all. The 'Modification of a read-only
variable' error varies in place with the call origination.
After this undiscerning commenting out in t/examp.t I see the following
result :
t/examp.............

I tried to add a explicit ->disconnect to the database handles
to dispose of the 'cleared whilst still active', to no avail.
So, is the README wrong? Do we need at least 5.00405 or even 5.00503
to work with 1.16? I don't mind that much, it is a good incentive to
move our developers to 5.005 and 5.6, but it needs to be mentioned
at least.
Regards,
