Hi, thanks for the announcement about DBD::mysql 4.024. I tried to install it via cpan -i DBD::mysql, which apparently failed due to failed tests, so I tried it again as cpan -f -i DBD::mysql. I get the same messages about failed tests, and the last output message is "install failed". But when I inspect perl/site/lib/DBD/mysql.pm, I see that it says $VERSION = '4.024'.
I'm not sure what to think. Was the new version actually installed? (Previous was 4.022.) Or is the installation mixed up in some way? How can I tell for sure? Thanks for any light you can shed on this. Robert Dodier PS. Here is the last part of the output from cpan -f -i DBD::mysql: [...] Test Summary Report ------------------- t/80procs.t (Wstat: 65280 Tests: 2 Failed: 0) Non-zero exit status: 255 Parse errors: Bad plan.
