Re: Perl 5.13.3+ MAY BREAK COMPILED DRIVERS - Please test DBI 1.613_71!

Long version: Perl 5.13.3+ removes support for PERL_POLUTE. PERL_POLUTE enables use of old-style variables names, without the PL_ prefix (e.g. sv_undef instead of PL_sv_undef). The DBI has, for many years, enabled PERL_POLUTE mode in DBIXS.h, so it's likely that compiled drivers are use some old-style variables names. These drivers won't work with Perl 5.13.3+. To aid testing for this, the DBI 1.613_71 doesn't enabled PERL_POLUTE mode. So please test compiled drivers against DBI 1.613_71. I didn't try to build them with DBI 1.613_71, but I did a grep search for PERL_POLLUTE in the latest CPAN versions of DBD-SQLite and DBD-Pg. * DBD-SQLite-1.30_05 *does* #define PERL_POLLUTE, once in SQLiteXS.h * DBD-Pg-2.17.1 does not have any PERL_POLLUTE Obviously, then, DBD::SQLite will need an update to fix this problem, though it sounds like the fix should be some relatively simple symbol renaming. I could probably do this, but not until at least a few days from now when I have more time to do that *and* test it. -- Darren Duncan

I just found that DBD::Oracle 1.2.5 was nearly ready. I have been looking forward to DRCP support for awhile now. We have Oracle 11.1 and 11.2 running on HP-UX with Perl 5.10, and we have a production app that makes thousands of connections a day using Perl (and a web interface in PHP that does the same thing, but it has pooling there.) Anyway, I am looking forward to getting this onto our test system, and trying it out. Thanks for all your hard work. -- Cliff
