Re: DBD::mysql - bit worrying
Hi Paul! Very good to hear from you! Wow, another book - that takes a LOT of one's life as I know. I look forward to reading another of your works.

Re: DBD::mysql - bit worrying
Hi Lyle, I just released 4.0.23 Which updated the documentation to reflect that MySQL/Oracle will no longer be where bugs are reported and to use http://rt.cpan.org Here is my LJ post about this matter: http://capttofu.livejournal.com/29756.html Regards, Patrick On Apr 11, 2013, at 7:37 PM, Lyle webmas...@cosmicperl.com wrote: Hmm...

Lyle, To be certain, they don't wish to kill DBD::mysql. They are really trying to define what Oracle supports and what they do not. The were very helpful in painstakingly migrating the bugs from their system manually to RT. Albeit, I have my work cut out for me now :) Regards, Patrick On Apr 11, 2013, at 8:28 PM, Lyle webmas...@cosmicperl.com wrote: On 12/04/2013 00:58, Darren Duncan wrote: On 2013.04.11 4:37 PM, Lyle wrote: Hmm...

Hopefully next month I'll get chance to give it a more thorough check.
