Re: Re: Re: Seemingly Internal DBD-XBase Error

I don't explicitly use DBD::XBase. However, the XBase.pm that we've been talking about is DBD::XBase. The top of XBase.pm is as follows.

use strict;
use DBI ();		# we want DBI
use XBase;		# and we want the basic XBase handling modules
use XBase::SQL;		# including the SQL parsing routines
use Exporter;

Could it be possible that it is confusing itself with the XBase it mentions? How do I check if I have that XBase even installed? If I use PPM and query XBase it checks on DBD-XBase.

In order to reduce confusion, you might refer to the DBD::XBase file as DBD/XBase.pm, rather than XBase.pm. :) You can check if you have the XBase module (as opposed to the DBD::XBase module) like this: `perl -MXBase -ce 1` It looks like the XBase bundle includes DBD::XBase, XBase, XBase::SQL, and a few other modules...

Thanks. According to the test you proscribed above (I should have been able to figure that one out, sorry) I do have XBase.pm (as oppossed to DBD/XBase.pm).	[reply]
