Hi All, I have a very peculiar bind_param problem. Below is the (leaned down code snippet) of a routine in a module i'm writing.

Below doesnt work

sub load {
    my $class = shift;
    my $id = shift;

    my $dbh = Some::Class->get_dbh();

    my $sth = $dbh->prepare(<<"ENDSQL");
SELECT  field1, field2
FROM    table
WHERE   id = ?
ENDSQL

    my ($field1, $field2);

    eval {
#       need to figure out why this bind_param isnt working
        $sth->bind_param(1, $id);
        $sth->execute();
        $sth->bind_col(1, \$field1);
        $sth->bind_col(2, \$field2);
    };

    if($@){
        print "There was a error";
    }

    $sth->fetch();
    $sth->finish();
}

The bind_param above does not seem to be binding the parameter.

Below does work

sub load {
    my $class = shift;
    my $id = shift;

    my $dbh = Some::Class->get_dbh();

    my $sth = $dbh->prepare(<<"ENDSQL");
SELECT  field1, field2
FROM    table
WHERE   id = $id
ENDSQL

    my ($field1, $field2);

    eval {
        $sth->execute();
        $sth->bind_col(1, \$field1);
        $sth->bind_col(2, \$field2);
    };

    if($@){
        print "There was a error";
    }

    $sth->fetch();
    $sth->finish();
}

If i dont bind the param it works fine. Has anyone experienced this? Is this at the dbi or dbd level.
