When attempting connection to two databases, if the first succeeds and the second fails, the program hangs, prints "Ok\nUhoh\nDone\n" and never exits.

If I remove the $no_raise_error option, the failed connection prints 'ORA-01017: invalid username/password' message and seg faults.

When the first fails and the second succeeds, prints "Uhoh\nOk\nDone\n" and exits normally.

Anyone else see this? Should I eval wrap the connects? Use a different module?

#!/usr/bin/perl

  use strict;
  use DBIx::Simple;

  my $no_raise_error = {
    RaiseError => 0,
  };

  my @valid_keys = (
    "dbi:Oracle:this_db",
    "valid-username",
    'valid-password',
  );

  my @bogus_keys = (
    "dbi:Oracle:that_db",
    "bogus-username",
    'bogus-password',
  );

  my $db = do_connect(\@valid_keys);
  ($db) and print "Ok\n";

  my $db = do_connect(\@bogus_keys, $no_raise_error);
  ($db) and print "Ok\n";

  print "Done\n";

sub do_connect {

  my $keys = shift;
  my $opts = shift;

  my $db = DBIx::Simple->connect(@$keys, $opts) or do {
    printf "Uhoh\n";
    return;
  };

  return $db;
}
