Hi,

I've been using DBI a lot lately, but for the first time I have to
connect to an Oracle database and I'm seeing some behavior that I don't
understand. Perhaps someone can give me a hint as to what's going on.

I'm using:

Perl 5.6.1 on Windows 2000
DBI  1.21
DBD::Oracle 1.06
PTKDB 1.074

I seem to be able to connect okay to the database, but when I do I get a
wall of text stating things like:

"Subroutine DBI::st::EXISTS redefined at C:/Perl/site/lib/DBI.pm line
382 (#1)".

I don't understand what this means or why it's printing. My connection
statement seems perfectly ordinary as far as I know:

my $dbh = DBI->connect("dbi:Oracle:boaltdb1", $uid, $pw, {
 AutoCommit => 0,
 RaiseError => 1
 } );

In addition, when I try to run it through PTKDB, it just exits and dies
before ever returning with the connection. I don't know if that's
related to this or not.

Anyone care to enlighten me?

Thanks,
Alan
