Testing with RH lunix Red Hat Linux 3.2.3-54 and perl 5.8
Ran Perl Makefile.PL but with this warning
*** You are using a perl configured with threading enabled.
*** You should be aware that using multiple threads is
*** not recommended for production environments.
*** Note:
The optional PlRPC-modules (RPC::PlServer etc) are not installed.
If you want to use the DBD::Proxy driver and DBI::ProxyServer
modules, then you'll need to install the RPC::PlServer, RPC::PlClient,
Storable and Net::Daemon modules. The CPAN Bundle::DBI may help you.
You can install them any time after installing the DBI.
You do *not* need these modules for typical DBI usage.
Your perl was compiled with gcc (version 3.2.3 20030502 ()), okay.
Then I did the make
and got this
gcc -c -D_REENTRANT -D_GNU_SOURCE -DTHREADS_HAVE_PIDS -DDEBUGGING
-fno-strict-aliasing
-I/usr/local/include -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64

DBI.xs: In function `XS_DBI_dispatch':
DBI.xs:2934: warning: int format, pointer arg (arg 6)
DBI.xs:2969: warning: int format, pointer arg (arg 7)
and then the usual Manifying stuff
Then I ran
make test
It seemed to thorw a number of utf8 errors (more than I expected)
and at the test I got this
t/zvxgp_85gofer...........ok 161/0# Looks like you failed 3 tests of 161.
t/zvxgp_85gofer...........dubious
Test returned status 3 (wstat 768, 0x300)
DIED. FAILED tests 79-80, 83
Failed 3/161 tests, 98.14% okay (less 30 skipped tests: 128 okay,
79.50%)
t/zvxgp_86gofer_fail......skipped
all skipped: requires Callbacks which are not supported with
PurePerl

okay.

and it just hangs
Will also try this on Windows today.

> =head2 Changes in DBI 1.55 (svn rev 9480), 1st May 2007
>
> Fixed set_err() so HandleSetErr hook is executed reliably, if set.
> Fixed accuracy of profiling when perl configured to use long doubles.
> Fixed 42prof_data.t on fast systems with poor timers thanks to Malcolm
> Nooning.
> Fixed potential corruption in selectall_arrayref and selectrow_arrayref
> for compiled drivers, thanks to Rob Davies.
> Rebuild your compiled drivers after installing DBI.
>
> Changed some handle creation code from perl to C code,
> to reduce handle creation cost by ~20%.
> Changed internal implementation of the CachedKids attribute
> so it's a normal handle attribute (and initially undef).
> Changed connect_cached and prepare_cached to avoid a FETCH method call,
> and thereby reduced cost by ~5% and ~30% respectively.
> Changed _set_fbav to not croak when given a wrongly sized array,
> it now warns and adjusts the row buffer to match.
> Changed some internals to improve performance with threaded perls.
> Changed DBD::NullP to be slightly more useful for testing.
> Changed File::Spec prerequisite to not require a minimum version.
> Changed tests to work with other DBMs thanks to ZMAN.
>
> Added more functionality to the (undocumented) Callback mechanism.
> Callbacks can now elect to provide a value to be returned, in which
> case
> the method won't be called. A callback for "*" is applied to all
> methods
> that don't have their own callback.
> Added $h->{ReadOnly} attribute.
> Added support for DBI Profile Path to contain refs to scalars
> which will be de-ref'd for each profile sample.
> Added dbilogstrip utility to edit DBI logs for diff'ing (gets installed)
> Added details for SQLite 3.3 to NULL handling docs thanks to Alex Teslik.
> Added take_imp_data() to DBI::PurePerl.
>
> Gofer related changes:
> Fixed gofer pipeone & stream transports to avoid risk of hanging.
> Improved error handling and tracing significantly.
> Added way to generate random 1-in-N failures for methods.
> Added automatic retry-on-error mechanism to gofer transport base class.
> Added tests to show automatic retry mechanism works a treat!
> Added go_retry_hook callback hook so apps can fine-tune retry
> behaviour.
> Added header to request and response packets for sanity checking
> and to enable version skew between client and server.
> Added forced_single_resultset, max_cached_sth_per_dbh and
> max_cached_dbh_per_drh
> to gofer executor config.
> Driver-private methods installed with install_method are now proxied.
> No longer does a round-trip to the server for methods it knows
> have not been overridden by the remote driver.
> Most significant aspects of gofer behaviour are controlled by policy
> mechanism.
> Added policy-controlled caching of results for some methods, such as
> schema metadata.
> The connect_cached and prepare_cached methods cache on client and
> server.
> The bind_param_array and execute_array methods are now supported.
> Worked around a DBD::Sybase bind_param bug (which is fixed in
> DBD::Sybase 1.07)
> Added goferperf.pl utility (doesn't get installed).
> Many other assorted Gofer related bug fixes, enhancements and docs.
> The http and mod_perl transports have been remove to their own
> distribution.
> Client and server will need upgrading together for this release.
>
> =cut
>
> I hope to release 1.55 this week. I'd appreciate any testing you can do.
> Including installing it and testing with your existing drivers, plus
> and then rebuilding your drivers (to check for any build-time issues).
>
> Between now and the actual release I'll be working on improving the Gofer
> docs.
> I hope DBI 1.55 is the release that marks DBD::Gofer being
> production-ready.

> Thanks!
