I have. Many times. But apparently I'm not smart enough to figure it out. This works:

package MyCDBI;
use base 'Class::DBI::mysql';
__PACKAGE__->connection('dbi:mysql:mydb', 'me', 'mypwd');
[download]

But this doesn't:

package MyCDBI;
use base 'Class::DBI::mysql';
sub db_Main {
  use DBI;
  return DBI->connect('dbi:mysql:mydb', 'me', 'mypwd')
    or die DBI->errstr;
}
[download]

I get the nice error message: Can't locate object "fetch_hash" via package "DBI::st" at Class/DBI/mysql.pm line 65. The calling script only uses MyCDBI and prints a hello world, so there's nothing from that that's causing this. Any suggestions?

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
