--- Begin Message ---Package: libpg-perl Version: 1:2.1.1-3 Severity: normal Tags: patch use Pg; my $conn = Pg::connectdb('dbname="fooTM"'); does not work: FATAL: database ""footm"" does not exist It is a problem of libpg-perl, because psql fooTM does work. According to http://gborg.postgresql.org/project/pgperl/bugs/bugupdate.php?810 this is a known bug (but seems to be open for three years). That bugreport proposes to one line fix. On the other hand, the code in Pg.xs does not check the parameters carefully, so I'd suggest to apply the following patch: diff -ur libpg-perl-2.1.1/Pg.xs libpg-perl-2.1.1new/Pg.xs --- libpg-perl-2.1.1/Pg.xs 2004-04-20 05:25:06.000000000 +0200 +++ libpg-perl-2.1.1new/Pg.xs 2007-10-17 20:01:42.000000000 +0200 @@ -96,8 +96,11 @@ char *ptr = strstr(conninfo, "dbname"); if (ptr) { ptr += 6; - while (*ptr && *ptr != '=') { - ptr++; + while (*ptr && (*ptr == ' ' || *ptr == '\t')) { + ptr++; + } + if (*ptr && *ptr == '=' ) { + ptr++; } while (*ptr && (*ptr == ' ' || *ptr == '\t')) { ptr++; (I tested it and it does work for me). -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-5-xen-amd64 Locale: LANG=de_AT.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_AT.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages libpg-perl depends on: ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-13etch2 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libpq4 8.1.9-0etch1 PostgreSQL C client library ii perl 5.8.8-7 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii perl-base [perlapi-5.8 5.8.8-7 The Pathologically Eclectic Rubbis libpg-perl recommends no packages. -- no debconf information
