markjugg, my best suggestion is to subscribe to dbi-users@perl.org
Important things to look for in the archives, database
system and version. merlyn's correct. Tim Bunce is a
reputable source for modules, being both the author of the
DBI module and co-author of Programming the Perl DBI.
In my own experience when I made the jump from 1.13 to 1.14,
my own code didn't have a problem. It's generally when you
make a jump from different DBD modules that any specific errors
may arise. In those cases, you can always expect to get a
quick response from the author on the dbi-users mailing list.
Update: I was looking through the list and noticed
a small problem that came up. Tim was notified of it. The
error involved selectrow_hashref in a mod_perl environment
(read Apache::DBI). The method was not found. Also, if you
run Oracle, you may experience a test script failing (t/plsql.t
around test 55). Tim reports this as a flawed test (read not
a real issue). Unless you're crazy and running the bleeding
edge version of perl, it appears that these are the only
errors reported so far on the list.
