Re: Why was it neccessary to pass a DBI handler by reference?

in reply to Why was it neccessary to pass a DBI handler by reference?

Is it possible that that code that you passed $dbh into wasn't accidentally de-referencing $dbh somewhere? If $dbh was being inappropriately dereferenced in the One and Two packages (for example) then that would explain why passing a reference to a reference would fix it. It may not have anything to do with DBI at all.

    I don't think that happened, because if I somehow managed to dereference it, the first method I tried to call on it would give an error. I also couldn't have fixed the problem by adding the reference and an extra dereference (which I failed to mention having done), because there would still have been the double dereference.
