Nalina has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I managed to install both DBI & DBD-Sybase on my solaris server. It works fine. But when I run the script which connects to sybase using these packages, I get a message as below.
CODE(0x257320), DBI CODE(0x3221e0), List::Util 1.07_00 CODE(0x334ce4), DBD::Sybase 0.95
Is this an error /warning? What does this mean?

    Could you, perhaps, show us the script which connects to sybase using these packages?
      $DB1 = "dbi:Sybase:server=server_name;database=db"; use DBI; # # Open the connection to the database # if ( ! defined( $dbh ) ) { $dbh = DBI->connect( $DB1, 'uid', 'passw', 'Sybase' );
        Well, the definition of DBI::connect indicates that the (optional) fourth parameter is a reference to an attributes hash, not a string constant.

        If I had to hazard a guess, I'd change your connect to $dbh = DBI->connect( $DB1, 'uid', 'passw' );
