Hello All- I manage a use of a DBI proxyserver to give people access to a local database worldwide, and I would like to update the proxy server to use perl 5.8.0 and the latest DBI and related modules.
But after I have done this on a test server, and try to connect from an existing client, I get this error: Cannot log in to DBI::ProxyServer: Storable binary image v2.6 more recent than I am (v2.4) at blib/lib/Storable.pm (autosplit into blib/lib/auto/Storable/thaw.al) line 355 Since I also upgraded the Storable module along with the DBI. Does this mean I have to insist that all remote clients have to upgrade right away to be able to keep using the server? Shouldn't Storable be backward compat. enough that this is not needed? That a client with an older version of Storable should be able to use a server with a newer version of Storable? I hate to have to make everyone who wants to continue use, go and track down the versions of various modules and re-install and upgrade. I was hoping to upgrade to support the use of newer versions of perl and modules without insisting that current older versions that are working also need to upgrade. Am I stuck, is there a way around this? Douglas -- ----------------------------------------------------------- Douglas A.
