Re^4: Can't connect to data source 'DBI:SQLite:\C:\Users\DON\Desktop\data.db

PS: your comparison (with "<:encoding(UTF-8)")

if ($dbfile1 eq $dbfile2){ print "same\n";} 
else {print "different\n";}
[download]

returns always same, both in the version compiled with pp and in the script version! So I do not really understand where the problem lies!

I suspect it means that DBI has problems dealing with connect strings marked as UTF	[reply]

if you suspect then you don't know It is silly to suspect DBI has a problem with unicode, if DBI did, it would manifest for OP without PAR DBI does not have a problem with unicode in a dsn, it simply doesn't care, As previously stated, the problem as reported by OP is unreproducible This is where the error comes from `# extract dbi:driver prefix from $dsn into $1 $dsn =~ s/^dbi:(\w?)(?:$(.?)$)?://i or '' =~ /()/; # ensure $1 etc are empty if match fails my $driver_attrib_spec = $2 \|\| ''; # Set $driver. Old style driver, if specified, overrides new dsn s +tyle. $driver = $old_driver \|\| $1 \|\| $ENV{DBI_DRIVER} or Carp::croak("Can't connect to data source '$dsn' " ."because I can't work out what driver to use " ."(it doesn't seem to contain a 'dbi:driver:' prefix " ."and the DBI_DRIVER env var is not set)");` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
