Please post some code, it seems like there is something wrong in
purge_acnt. Line 242 and a few lines before and after should be
interesting, and the lines around DBI->connect.

I am working with a perl file intended to enter a postgresql database (as user
postgres), select a list of key values based on one of those values and delete
any records which match the returned results. The purpose of the program is to
delete inactive records from the database that are over two years in age.
(For the record, the system in question is running SuSE 9.3 os, Apache2, Postgres 8.1.3, and appears to be running Perl 5.8.6)
When I first ran the perl script, it did not appear to be working; entering the database afterwards would show that the data was still present. After finding and uncommenting a 'commit' statement at the end, I am now ending up with the error message
Can't locate object method "commit" via package "DBI::st" at ./purge_acnt line
242 (#1)
(F) You called a method correctly, and it correctly indicated a package
functioning as a class, but that package doesn't define that particular
method, nor does any of its base classes. See perlobj.
Uncaught exception from user code:
Can't locate object method "commit" via package "DBI::st" at
./purge_acnt line 242.
at ./purge_acnt line 242
Database handle destroyed without explicit disconnect at ./purge_acnt line 242.
Database handle destroyed without explicit disconnect at ./purge_acnt line 242.
I am asuming that the last two lines are because the program crashed, artificially severing the connections to the DB. (The last couple of lines of the program are normal disconnect statements, but occur after the 'commit' line that triggered the error.) It's the rest of the error that I am confused about. If I am reading it correctly, it seems to be saying that there is no 'commit' function in the DBI. Do I need to update my DBI files somehow, or is there another way to prevent this error from occuring? And if I have to update, would someone please be kind enough to link me to a good set of instructions on doing so?
Thank you for your consideration.
