Greetings hardburn,

I have. Many times. But apparently I'm not smart enough to figure it out. This works:

package MyCDBI;
use base 'Class::DBI::mysql';
__PACKAGE__->connection('dbi:mysql:mydb', 'me', 'mypwd');

[download]

But this doesn't:

package MyCDBI;
use base 'Class::DBI::mysql';
sub db_Main {
  use DBI;
  return DBI->connect('dbi:mysql:mydb', 'me', 'mypwd')
    or die DBI->errstr;
}

[download]

I get the nice error message: Can't locate object "fetch_hash" via package "DBI::st" at Class/DBI/mysql.pm line 65. The calling script only uses MyCDBI and prints a hello world, so there's nothing from that that's causing this. Any suggestions?
