Hi Monks!
I am trying to work with this code that uses CGI::Application and I am having an issue where in the "cgiapp_init" I need to connect to two different databases, it works on the first one but if I try to pass the dbh value for the second it doesn't work, maybe I am passing it wrong, if someone has any idea it would be great:
... sub cgiapp_init { my $self = shift; my $db = 'myServer'; my $user = 'user'; my $pass = 'pass'; my $sql_dbh = DBI->connect( "DBI:ODBC:$db", $user, $pass ) || print "Connect fail: $!"; my $as400_db = 'AS400'; my $as400_user = 'user; my $as400_pass = 'pass'; my $as400_driver = DBI->connect( "DBI:ODBC:$as400_db", $as400_use +r, $as400_pass ) || print "Connect fail: $!"; $self->param('mydbh' => $mssql_dbh, 'mydbh400' => $as400_driver ) +; } ... sub one { my $self = shift; # Get database connection my $dbh = $self->param('mydbh'); ... } sub two { my $self = shift; # Get database connection my $dbh = $self->param('mydbh400'); ... } ...
Thanks for the Help!
