Good timing. Thanks.
DBI 1.53 no longer inherits from Exporter, but Exporter is where the
require_version class method is implemented.
On reflection I don't see sufficient value in not inheriting from
Exporter so I'll reinstate that. (It's DynaLoader that causes the
confusing error message because it uses AutoLoader - but I'd rather not
mess with DynaLoader inheritance because that's likely to break anyone
still using static linking.)
You can try this:
--- DBI.pm (revision 7976)
+++ DBI.pm (working copy)
@@ -156,8 +156,7 @@
use Exporter ();
BEGIN {
[EMAIL PROTECTED] = qw(DynaLoader);
-*import= \&Exporter::import; # avoid need to have Exporter in @ISA
[EMAIL PROTECTED] = qw(Exporter DynaLoader);
# Make some utility functions available if asked for
@EXPORT = (); # we export nothing by default
