Re: Class::DBI 0.96 and perl 5.8.3 - bad combo?

[prev] [thread] [next] [Date index for 2005/05/11]

hi,

I'm also seeing this problem on Debian sarge perl_5.8.4.
i think this problem is the cause of "looks_like_number
bug on perl_5.8.4" as follows:

 http://use.perl.org/comments.pl?sid=25179&cid=38508

looks_like_number() is used in dbdimp.c (DBD::SQLite 1.08)

the only solution is to get 5.8.5 or later.
