I've use the mysql_insertid function on many different boxes but I am
now having a problem.

The following script works fine on every box I've tried except one:


use DBI;
$driver = "mysql";
$drh = DBI->install_driver($driver);
$dsn = "DBI:$driver:database=test";
$dbh = DBI->connect($dsn,"root");
$dbh->do(qq(insert into testac values ("","test")));
print "id=".$dbh->{'mysql_insertid'}."\n";


This script inserts a record and prints the id from the auto_increment
field.  On the ONE box it doesn't work on, it prints 0 even though the
record is inserted and the id field is correctly incremented.  I've
tried different tables just to make sure there was not an error in my
table.

On the box in question perl -V returns:
