As a follow-up to my original post it appears that the problem is with Perl 5.8.0 and DBD 1.14 and DBI 1.37.
When I downgraded my perl to 5.6.1 and recompiled and installed DBD 1.14 and DBI 1.37 into that environment things work fine. I don't know what Tim nor the Perl developers need sort up this bug. Any suggestion of what I can provide them with would be appreciated. Cheers
