Обсуждение: connect from perl: error in Carp.pm

Hello,


When I try to connect as following, I get an error in Carp.pm:

use DBI;

# connecting to database

my $username = 'marc';
my $password = 'marc';

$dbh = DBI->connect("DBI:Pg:dbname=my_db", $username, $password,{AutoCommit
=> 1, RaiseError => }) || die "Unable to connect to database $DBI::errstr";


 => Not a CODE reference at /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.3/Carp.pm line 178.

Any idea what this error means?

Maybe there are some right issue; I installed DBI and DBD as root, I'm
calling the script as root, but postgres runs under its own user.

cpan>  install DBI
cpan>  install DBD::pg

Thanks,

Marc

I doubt that's it, but I am not sure what is going on. Can you tell us more
about the circumstances: is this a standalone script. Perhaps an Apache
cgi script? What version of DBI, DBD::Pg, PostgreSQL, and (if applicable)
Apache?

I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess that the problem is the
missing value for RaiseError in your connect statement.
