Apache::DBI works transparently, so if one scripts works, and the other doesn't, then there must be differences in the way you connect in the two scripts. In other words a script that works without Apache::DBI must also work with Apache::DBI!

Try the following bit of code and see what you get...

#!/usr/bin/perl

use CGI qw/:standard/;
use DBI;
use Data::Dumper;

$Apache::DBI::DEBUG = 2;  # Turn on Apache::DBI debugging

print header,
      start_html('Testing Apache::DBI'),
      h1('Testing Apache::DBI');

my $dbh;
eval {
  $dbh = DBI->connect( "DBI:mysql:database=test;host=localhost", undef
+, undef, { RaiseError => 1 } ) ;
};

if ($@) {
  print p('DBI Error: '.$@);
} else {
  print p('Connect success');
  print p("We are using Apache::DBI") if $dbh->isa('Apache::DBI::db');
  print pre(Dumper($dbh));
}

print end_html();

When I call that with Apache::DBI enabled, I get the following:

Testing Apache::DBI

Connect success

We are using Apache::DBI

$VAR1 = bless( {}, 'Apache::DBI::db' );

And in my error log I get:

13692 Apache::DBI need ping: yes
13692 Apache::DBI new connect to 'database=test;host=localhostAutoCommit=1PrintError=1RaiseError=1'

Cheers,

Cees

Update: Looks like this got solved while I was writing my test script. I guess I'll have to be quicker next time...
