I just upgraded to the latest DBD mysql module after many years of
using the older version.
I noticed that I get an error if \%attr is not passed along with the
connect string.
Is this a bug? Or is the perldoc out of date?
use DBI;
$db_database = "test";
%attr = {};
$drvh = DBI->install_driver('mysql');
# this fails
$dbh = $drvh->connect($db_database,"","")
or die "Cannot connect to database: $DBI::errstr\n";;
# this works
$dbh = $drvh->connect($db_database,"","",\%attr)
or die "Cannot connect to database: $DBI::errstr\n";;
Thanks in advance
