This database thing is just a fad by ShadowNode (2.00 / 0) #1 Wed Nov 22, 2006 at 02:42:43 AM EST

You should write it as a flat file in plain c, or the ~~ter'ists~~ republicans win.

Does this thread on the MySQL forums help at all?

Thanks, however that was the first place I found too. The DBD version I'm using is greater than what they say in that thread is required for it to work, except it still doesn't.

I must be the only person on earth who likes perl. by mrgoat (4.00 / 1) #4 Wed Nov 22, 2006 at 01:53:37 PM EST

Why yous gotta rag on perl? It's dense, arcane, filled with random syntax, and never really seems to be totally consistent. What's not to like? I say, any language that requires semicolons, whitespace, carriage returns/newlines, has strict typing, etc. is no friend of mine. I want the next guy down the line confused, and I mean it.

Actually, I'm just rather fond of pcre's. That said, I don't know how to solve your problem. Did you try calling ${$@[rand0..5].${&{$()}}->(); yet? That might work.

I meant $_{$@_[rand0..5].${\&{$_()}}->(); Apologies. Note: code probably doesn't work. Then again, I once peed on a keyboard and perl managed to run it.

my main honest complaint about perl by theantix (4.00 / 1) #6 Wed Nov 22, 2006 at 03:42:45 PM EST

It's popular enough that you find it around in a lot of places, except not popular enough to handle edge cases. Apparently so few people actually use MySQL stored procedures with Perl that hardly anyone has even noticed this problem I ran into. Same with scoop's problem with Perl and apache2.

There are of course lots and lots of reasons to rag on perl, but most of them are dishonest and you can get around them with good coding practices.

: I agree on both counts. by mrgoat (2.00 / 0) #7 Sun Nov 26, 2006 at 10:54:08 PM EST

It seems that many perl coders have the opinion that "good coding practices are for wusses", and that makes me sad. I still appreciate the ability to write some quick, throwaway code when I need it. I guess the trick is knowing when it's really just one-use code.
