attribute parameter "12" is not a hash ref

Hi,

I'm having problems with bind_param on particular machines. They have
DBI v1.48 and DBD::mysql v4.005 installed.

We are using the second form of bind_param shown in the DBI man page:

$rc = $sth->bind_param($p_num, $bind_value);
$rc = $sth->bind_param($p_num, $bind_value, $bind_type);
$rc = $sth->bind_param($p_num, $bind_value, \%attr);

like this:

$sth->bind_param(1, $name, SQL_VARCHAR);

but it fails with the error:

DBI::st=HASH(0xa94f474)->bind_param(...): attribute parameter '12'
is not a hash ref

This always works:

$sth->bind_param(1, $name, {TYPE => SQL_VARCHAR});

So for some reason SQL_VARCHAR(), which has the value 12, is not
identified by DBD::mysql as the second form of bind_param. Anyone
know why?

James
