What could be the reason?
The autobuilder usually uses some kind of chroot environment and the m68k
one is certainly alsow very slow so it might hit a condition that is
unusual on a normal desktop machine.
Occams's razor: Could you hack the test to increase the timeout, so say
100, and try again?
Did not help. But the m68k architecture is no longer officially supported
by Debian, just autobuilded along with the other architectures, so it's no
big deal :)

RE: perl date
I've created dbf files using DBD::XBase a few times. To get dates to insert correctly I had to have the date in MMDD format. DBD::Xbase writes dbase 4 files. If Clipper is old enough that it is using dbase 3 files the answer might be different. -Original Message- From: Samuel_Zheng [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, August 27, 2007 8:45 AM To: dbi-users@perl.org Subject: perl date Hi, I am using ODBC to convert an old clipper application to a web based application and I came across something seems simple but it's not. how can I save a date from perl to a date field in dbf file? can a perl expert helps out someone who is novice in perl like me? your help would be very much appreciated!

Oracle::DBD build issue
Hi, Building the DBD for Oracle on a Tru64 UNIX 4.0G server (alphaserver) under perl 5.8.8, I'm stuck on getting the test process working correctly.

Yes, after the patch all tests pass. Funny, CPAN.pm also recently introduced similar code with similar problems. Is this a conspiracy, or just thoughtlessness? :) I'm not sure ignoring Win98 can be called thoughtlessness these days. Umm, hardly worthy of a conspiracy either. :) Win98 has other typical solutions, such as: you can't open a file for output in 2 programs at the same time. Surely there must be a way to emulate flock on Win98, using an extra lock file... That way you'd only be covered for programs written in Perl, adhering to the same convention, but probably that should suffice. Just thinking out loud... Patches welcome at [EMAIL PROTECTED] ... Tim.
RE: Oracle::DBD build issue
Hi, Bob, I've met some (similar but not same) failed tests in my previous of DBD::Oracle installations. I eventually found out: 1. if it complains about libraries, the PATH environment variable of the user who is doing the installation might lack of something; 2. the Oracle account (ORACLE_USERID), say, the default 'scott/tiger', used in the testing does not have sufficient privillege to use some features in the database.

Try the appended patch and let me know if it works for you.
+my $HAS_FLOCK = do { local $@; eval { flock STDOUT, 0; 1 } };
While that's the method I use in DBD::File, there appear to be some
phantom problems with it. I think that you can get a true value
for that but still not be able to call flock(). So I get (rare)
reports of tests hanging when flock() is called even if it is only
called when $HAS_FLOCK is true. If I recall correctly, from users
with NFS.
With NFS and running the test in an NFS mounted filesystem, probably.
NFS implementations can suffer problems with lock daemons.
I'm not sure if there is a good solution.
I've changed the code so the default can be overridden via an env var
and callers can force use of non-use of flock. That'll do for now.
Thanks Jeff.
Tim.
