Hi,
I'm having troubles using the DBI::connect method when I attempt
to include mysql_read_default_file." I get a segmentation fault
when I attempt to connect with this option set to read my $HOME/.my.cnf
file but all works fine without this option. It's a simple
snipet of code:
$dbUser = ""; # I also tried undef instead of empty strings.
$dbPass = "";
$dsn = "DBI:mysql:samp_db";
$dsn .= ";mysql_read_default_file=/home/gthompsn/.my.cnf";
$dbHandle = DBI->connect($dsn, $dbUser, $dbPass);
and here is $HOME/.my.cnf:
[client]
user = gthompsn
password = secret_password
I want a multitude of Perl scripts to gain access to the DB without
hard-coded user/passwd variables in each script. The .my.cnf file
has proper permissions (600) so that's not an issue. I've tried on
both Debian (potato) and Red Hat 7.3 systems and the former causes a
segmentation fault while the latter produces a core dump.
Any help is GREATLY APPRECIATED!
