This may be more of a general Perl question than a DBI one, but since DBI
is involved, I thought I'd ask anyway.
I create a database handle called $dbh_sale. I want to ensure that this
handle is destroyed at the end of the program... so, I wrote up this chunk
of code
END
{
$dbh_sale->disconnect(); ###this is line 155
}
When doing a perl -c using Perl 5.00404, I get:
test.pl syntax OK
Can't call method "disconnect" without a package or object reference at
test.pl line 155.
END failed--cleanup aborted.
However, I get no such error/warning when running under Perl 5.6.0. Since
I am forced to use Perl 5.00404, I am concerned that this error could
cause a problem down the line. Does anyone know why Perl 5.00404 is
reporting this? Since I've only used Perl 5.00503 and Perl 5.6.0, I've
never run into this problem before and I have no idea if this a really a
bug or if it's just sloppy error reporting by the old interpreter.
Thanks,
Curt Crandall
