Yes, it works, although I swear that I had that an hour ago and it didn't <sigh>

I finally passed through the argument that fixed the error {LongTruncOk => 1}, removed the extraneous quotes that I had introduced around the constraint and all of a sudden it works even better than I wanted it to an hour ago.

have you ever wanted to strangle a bit of code?

Thanks!

Edit

For completeness, here's the code fragment that works

my @args = ('-o', 'dump_directory='. $root .'/lib/',
        '-o', q/components=["InflateColumn::DateTime"]/, 
        '-o', 'constraint=qr/'. $table_prefix .'/',
        'Timetable::Schema',
        "dbi:Oracle:$database", $username, $password,
        '{ LongTruncOk => 1 }',
);

system( '/usr/local/bin/dbicdump', @args );
