I wrote a class for basic Database access functionallity: 
package MyDB_DB;

use DBI;
use constant DBI_STRING => 'dbi:mysqlPP:plant;merlin','uname','passwor
+d';

my $dbh;

sub DB_connect
{
    $dbh = DBI->connect( DBI_STRING )
        ||    die "Cannot connect: $DBI::errstr\n";
    #return $dbh;
}

sub DB_prepare
{
    my $statement = pop;
    #print 'PlantDB_DB: '.$statement."\n";
    my $sth = $dbh->prepare($statement) ||
        die "Cannot prepare statement: $DBI::errstr\n";
    return $sth;
}

sub DB_execute
{
    my $sth = pop;
    $sth->execute ||
        die "Cannot execute statement:  $DBI::errstr\n";
}


sub DB_finish
{
$dbh->disconnect;
}


sub new 
{
   my $self = {};
   bless $self;
   return $self;
}

return 1;

in my main program i make an instance of that class and call the functions. when the program ends, i get the following message: (in cleanup) Can't call method "close" on an undefined value at ..../mysqlPP.pm line 274 during global destruction. maybe this is a problem related to oo-programming, maybe not. but i dont know how to deal with that message. Can you help? Regards, misu
