Re^3: windows sybase error messages

That's what we call in professional lingo a "typo". I couldn't imagine that the dsn for DBD::Sybase would have a wacky non-standard way of specifying just the port, so I had to consult the source (http://search.cpan.org/src/MEWP/DBD-Sybase-1.04/dbdimp.c):

  if(strchr(dsn, '=')) {
    extractFromDsn("server=", dsn, imp_dbh->server, 64);
    ... blah blah blah ...
    extractFromDsn("host=", dsn, imp_dbh->host, 64);
    extractFromDsn("port=", dsn, imp_dbh->port, 20);
    extractFromDsn("maxConnect=", dsn, imp_dbh->maxConnect, 25);

As you can see, it is clearly looking for "port=", and not "port-". Why your dsn would would work with "port-" is beyond me. *shrug*

Good catch. You should report it to mpeppler, either as a /msg here, or to his email listed on his home page.	[reply]

either as a /msg here, or to his email listed on his home page. That's the wrong approach. You should report the bug as outlined in the documentation. RTFM.	[reply]

Actually it doesn't matter all that much - as long as I'm informed. And as I've read this thread - consider me informed :-) Michael	[reply]

yeah it looks like you're right, I stand corrected! I suppose I shouldn't rely so much on the documentation! Martymart	[reply]
