Philip, I think I've spotted another small Apache/DBI issue that I
thought I would run by you.
In the 'connect' function inside the DBI.pm module (as opposed to the
Apache/DBI.pm) there are somes lines about 12 lines down from the start
of the 'connect' function that reads as follows
$connect_meth ||= $DBI::connect_via; # fallback to default
$dsn ||= $ENV{DBI_DSN} || $ENV{DBI_DBNAME} || '' unless $old_driver;
if ($DBI::dbi_debug) {
local $^W = 0;
pop @_ if $connect_meth ne 'connect';
my @args = @_; $args[2] = '****'; # hide password
DBI->trace_msg(" -> $class->$connect_meth(".join(", ",@args).")\n");
}
This looks like the last value of the @arg array will be popped off
where the $connect_meth value has been set to Apache::DBI::connect via
the $DBI::connect_via variable. It doesn't seem like a big deal but I
could see how it would drive someone crazy if they turned on
$DBI::dbi_debug and they weren't getting the messages back that they
expected. Let me know if I am wrong on this and what I should do if I
am right.
You are correct in what it does; however, its not an issue as far as I
can see. The reason being is that the last arg of connect is the
\%attrs hash ref. Its replacing the password with *'s and then showing
all SCALAR (aka simple to the lazy programer) parameters :)
dbi-users (at) perl (dot) org
[No worries I read this list too :)]
would be able more sutied to answer DBI specific questions. I'm
assuming you pointed this out b/c you didn't get the message you
expected. Examples ?
