I wasn't sure how to do the path mentioned in the link so I just manually edited the Apache::DBI
file and added the eval around the line requesting Apache2::RequestRec and it seems to work
now.
Thanks for the heads up. All of the literature I have mentions Apache::DBI for use with mod_perl.
I did look at DBI::Class as the Apache::DBI author mentioned, but I would rather use Apache::DBI
and do the class structure myself.
Seems like an easy enough thing to patch into Apache::DBI to avoid these head aches, wonder
why the author isn't?
Thanks again,
