in reply to Old DBI versions require Perl 5.8.1?

Side comment: I wonder if you mean v5.16.1, not v5.6.1. Same for 5.18.1 vs. 5.8.1 (although I don't notice 5.18 anywhere yet).

    Doh! You absolutely right, toolic. In one of my perl searches on the web I saw a site that announced Perl 5.8. I assumed that this was new but is, in fact, really old. Thanks for pointing that out. In addition, apparently my bifocals need an upgrade since I missed the 5.16 vs 5.6. Ai yi yi! I do have 5.6 on my workstation. I will start over. When I have something intelligent to say I'll get back to you. I am really new (obviously) to Perl and DBI. I need to get acclimated.

    I did mean 5.6.1. That was a typo. Thanks for checking.
