Jeffrey,
Thank you very much for this patch - I have tons of mail and originally
missed this. I've applied it and
found that it failed with an earlier version of DBI, but once I updated
DBI, it now passes along with Stas Beckman's patch he sent me for this a
year or two ago.
Do you know what the specific version of this is that this feature was
added to DBI? I can put logic in the tests that ignore this test if the
DBI version is not supporting it.
I'm going to include this with an upcoming 4.007 (this week) release.
Thanks!

Following on the heels of the DBI and DBD::Oracle patches, I figured getting
mysql
to work would be the next best step. Unfortunately I kept getting a glibc
free() error,
similar to the one here:
http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.dbi.dev/2005/04/msg4039.html
The problem is the imp_dbh contains a MYSQL structure, and part of this
structure
is pointers to other MYSQL structures - or, usually, back to the original
structure.
When you take the imp_data and put it into another SV, its address in memory
changes,
so anything pointing to this struct is going to break.
The simplest thing I found was to change the MYSQL struct to a pointer. The
other DBD
drivers I've looked at all use a pointer or an opaque handle, so it should
work. However,
it feels like a pretty extensive patch just to support an experimental change.
Try
it out and let me know what you think.
