Here's a general snippet of code that I can't get to work. How do you set the DBD::mysql delimiter for installing functions with it? I've gotten this to work in the past, but I lost the code: 
my $sth = $dbh->prepare("DELIMITER //");
$sth->execute();
exit;

+ right syntax to use near 'DELIMITER //' at line 1 at /root/test.pl l

This is one of those things where I'm not sure of what to google for to get the right answer. A pointer would be great. Thanks!
