An existing perl script was working fine. However on a new linux server the text that is retrieved from a varchar 5000 column is being truncated. Apparently the Perl version is the same. When I did some searching I found the "LongReadLen" attribute. Where is this set so that it would be picked up by all the perl scripts?
I tried to set it within the perl script to see if that would help and it failed, i.e.: "Setting of CS_OPT_TEXTSIZE failed at line 44." Line 44 is the line where the LongReadLen is set.
# --- connect to database ---/
$dbh = DBI->connect("DBI:Sybase:server=$dbserver",
$user, $passwd);
$dbh->do("use $dbname");
$dbh->{LongReadLen} = 6000;
I would appreciate any assistance.

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).
