DBI::Shell Version 10.7 - batch mode

This is a small patch to DBI::Shell Version 10.7 that makes batch mode work. Without this patch, in batch mode you will get an error like this: Command 'go' not recognised at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/i586-linux/DBI/Shell.pm line 379, <STDIN> chunk 1.

Sorry to ask this as a newbie. How to go about patching(using command line) any Perl module using the above patch as a example.	[reply]

The example was probably produced using the nix tool "diff" and can be applied to a module using the nix tool "patch". There are versions of those tools for other platforms. Read the documentation for patch to see how to do it (basically just patch file-to-patch patch-to-apply. You can also just do it by hand by finding the line numbers referenced and taking out lines with a - and adding lines with a +.	[reply]
