Hello. I have used Data::Dumper successfully but I am stumped if I can even use it on this.
I have a statement handle in my code that's pretty straight forward.
$dbh= DBConnect::connect(); #Established connection $sth = $dbh->prepare("SELECT * FROM test WHERE 1"); print Dumper($sth)
The DBI is being subclassed in DBConnect to add comments to the SQL statement. I need to write a unit test right now to check the SELECT before it being executed.
This is all a roundabout way of asking if it's possible to use Dumper on $sth (or $dbh) to see what the parameters are and to verify that the comments are correctly attached to the SQL statement.
Many thanks ahead for the advice.
