Did you manage to solve the problem using Tim's suggestions?

Well, neither I nor Tim had the time to debug it. So what I did is to apply this patch:

diff -ru DBI-1.32/t/10examp.t DBI-1.32-patched/t/10examp.t

$dbh->{'Taint'} = 0;
my $st;

to disable the tainted tests. This works so far here.

Any help would be much appreciated - I attach details from my 'make test'.

I would also love to know what is going on here. Anybody?
