bug in $dbh->clone

[Mathew Robertson]

Hi folks,   I beleive I have found a bug in the implementation of the 'clone()' call.  DBI.pm version 1.40, line 636   The code in that area deals with the creation of the 'dbi_connect_closure' capability.  In particular, it copies the current handle attributes into the new handle that is being created.   The code specifically crashes when trying to assign attributes 'User' and 'CURRENT_USER' - given that 'Username' is already being passed, I suspect that these two attribute names have become deprecated over time.   I'd like be able to suggest a solution (except for putting the assignment inside an eval), except that I dont grok " ->{attrib} " syntax used on the database handle -> I haven't seen that capability before... I figure its some type of " -> " overload, but its got me beat...   In any case - I hope this bug report is has sufficient info for you to solve the problem.   regards, Mathew   PS.
