I'm working on a project to connect to a SQLExpress database on a Win7x64 computer and running into a problem when I fork to a child process. I know that it is important to close file handles when forking but I can't seem to close the ADO handles and the program crashes when the child process terminates (see program snippet below). Is my code in error or is there something amiss with the ADO/DBI drivers?
DBD::ADO uses Win32::OLE, and the ActiveState people say: ... you definitely cannot use Win32::OLE in a program that uses (pseudo-)fork. <http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.par/2007/01/msg2802.html> Steffen P.S.: Sorry for the long delay.
