Subject: bug in $dbh->clone
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
