Not true. The DBI supports 5.5.3. The most recent release announcement did say: NOTE: Future versions of the DBI may not support for perl 5.5 much longer. : If you are still using perl 5.005_03 you should be making plans to : upgrade to at least perl 5.6.1, or 5.8.0. Perl 5.8.0 is due to be : released in the next week or so. (Although it's a "point 0" release, : it is the most throughly tested release ever.) But that's just a "shot across the bows" alerting people to think about upgrading. I'm unlikely to actually require 5.6.1 for quite some time yet. Tim.
