in thread DBI messes up sleep

When I put another sleep 30 at the end of the while loop the second sleep doesnt really sleep but then the first sleep kicks in and works as expected.

    That's consistent with what I said. That it only interrupts once is great! My solution will handle that nicely.

    Definitly sounds like a bug that should be reported to the DBI maintainers.

      That seems quite hasty.

      DBD driver, database library and system configurations aside, we haven't even definitively eliminated the usual suspect: the end-user. :) Can you reproduce perljunky's symptoms with the given code and an accessible Oracle data source? I cannot.

        Since other users where able to reproduce it and provide work around its sounded good. At least it should be addressed as a comment in the documentation so that if someone else has the same problem they will be able to find a solution sooner. Either way I don't think submitting it as a bug is hasty because the maintaners may have no idea of the issue and might not read PM, if that is the case then some kind of notification to them would be good.
