in reply to DBI + MySQL 5.6 = problems

"about a month ago ... I upgraded to v5.6."

That suggests you're gonna' be going for one of them thar infernal combustion wagons purty soon. T'aint nuttin wrong with horses, so why bother?

Suggestion (tho I hate to suggest going thru the 'pain' -- if that's the way you see it -- of upgrading again): why not upgrade to something that's still semi-current, like 5.16 or to an ever newer version, 5.18 and take advantage of the new capabilities added since 5.6.

Clearly, you haven't let your MySQL get nearly as far outdated.

If you didn't program your executable by toggling in binary, it wasn't really programming!

    I think the OP probably meant version 5.6 of MySQL rather than version 5.6 of perl...

    Update: Linkified
      More careful reading than I accorded the OP initially says...
      • You're right!

      /me slinks away chagrinned at mine own careless reading.
