One way to solve it is to do: use DBI qw(:sql_types);
Michael Extranet [EMAIL PROTECTED] - 12/12/2005 00:45 To: dbi-users cc: Subject: Bareword "DBI::SQL_INTEGER" not allowed while "strict subs" I am new to DBI, Perl, and SQL and I am currently trying to piece together a group of bioinformatic programs. In running the database element of the package, I recieve a number of : Bareword "DBI::SQL_INTEGER" not allowed while "strict subs" in use errors (a full listing of the error is pasted below). Does anyone have experience with this error and/or suggestions on how i might resolve it? I am truly a novice, 3 days in, so simple explanations would be especially appreciated.
