Re: Cannot exit Perl process once ODBC call has been made

in reply to Cannot exit Perl process once ODBC call has been made

What have you tried so far?

How about the Perl debugger?
How about DBI::trace?
How about just putting 'print "foo!";' in place of your database stuff?

Life is short: get busy!

Update: D'Oh. OK, DBI::trace isn't going to work when Win32::ODBC is being used, as bart points out. My point (blunt though it was) was to look at all of the links in the chain.

DBI::trace? When he's not even using DBI, but Win32::ODBC? No kidding... Perhaps the OP could indeed try using DBI+DBD::ODBC instead. I see no %SIG manipulation in the perl source of Win32::ODBC — $SIG{INT} is the way to capture the signal coming from ctrl-C. So I can only guess that it hangs in the XS part (the DLL) of this module...	[reply]
