Hi Monks,

I've been attempting to get a mod_perl program to utilize the DBD:CSV module. Here is the handler code 
use strict;
use Apache::Constants qw(:common);
use Apache::Request;
use DBI;
use CGI::Carp;

sub handler {
   my $r=Apache::Request->new(shift);
   carp("calling DBI:CSV connect");
   DBI->trace( 2, 'dbitrace.log' );
   my $dbh1 = DBI->connect("DBI:CSV:f_dir=/local/tmp") or die carp("$D
+BI::errstr $!")
   carp("after DBI:CSV connect");

....some other stuff....

   return OK;
}

My error log prints the debug statement "calling DBI:CSV connect" and then that's it. I never see the second debug message. Firefox just shows a blank screen. The DBI tracelog shows these two messages:
-> DBI->connect(DBI:CSV:f_dir=/local/tmp, , ****)
-> DBI->install_driver(CSV) for dynixptx perl=5.006001 pid=15252 ruid=
+50195 euid=50195

and that's it. I can successfully connect to an Oracle db with the same code with the oracle specific changes to the connect line.
Any ideas?
