compile error on perl5.005_03

[prev] [thread] [next] [Date index for 2004/10/22]

I just installed Class::DBI manually and can 'use' it fine on perl5.8. But perl5.005_03, the default on my system and what I use for most scripting, dies trying to compile Class::DBI with the following error:

Can't modify logical or assignment in logical and assignment at /services/http/\
users/r/ryantate/cgi-bin/lib/Class/DBI.pm line 176, near "" AS $alias";"
BEGIN not safe after errors--compilation aborted at /services/http/users/r/ryan\
tate/cgi-bin/lib/Class/DBI.pm line 405.

The referenced line 176 of Class::DBI 0.96 is this, from inside "sub transform_sql":

                ($alias ||= "") &&= " AS $alias";

Since Class::DBI 'require's only perl5.00502, and since I can't find anything in the perldocs indicating it will not work with 5.005_03, I wonder why I am getting a syntax error on the module itself. Does this indicate I have installed one of the dependancies improperly? Are there known erros with Class::DBI on 5.005_03? I haven't been able to find anything in the archive for this list.

On the other hand, 0.96 has been out since April, so I have trouble believing this is an undiscovered bug.

Below I have included a shell session transcript. The script 'cdbi' simply 'use lib's my module library and then attempts 'use Class::DBI'.
