Hi,

This is a problem of the sort that is starting to make me a little
supersituous. I am using mySQL various versions, one of which is 4.01 max on
FreeBSD 4.5 stable, DBI 1.30 and I believe the latest DBD::mysql module.
Well the weird thing that is happening is that on this particular machine
when I use fetchall_arrayref, I end up missing the last column that I should
return. I tested this over and over with different queries and databases.
Then I moved some things over to a Slackware machine and found no problems.
So I thought, oh it must be a FreeBSD thing, somehow. So I took my queries
home to my other FreeBSD 4.5 stable and tested, fetchall_arrayref works as
expected, but I thought, oh I have 3.x not 4.x, so I installed 4.02 Max and
still all is well. 

So now I am thinking, "What do I do with this other machine?" Do I upgrade
to 4.02? Downgrade to 3.x? Install FreeBSD 4.6 and hope that the gods are
pleased? This is just so weird and I don't really know who to turn to. I
have posted to the FreeBSD newsgroup misc, and the DBI mailing list, no
responses so far. Maybe people just think I am nuts? :) I wouldn't blame
them. But if the problem had anything to do with my test code it would not
have worked on the Slackware machine and my home FreeBSD machine. The scary
thing is the home machine is identical to my work machine except that it has
been worked on a lot more, and so a few more perl modules are hanging
around, and the work machine has 4.01, the home machine now has 4.02. 

Thanks,

Eric
