MySQL module for NetWare.

Hi,

I am trying to build the MySQL module for NetWare. I could compile and
link the module into an executable (nlm). But when I run a sample script
that has a simple statement: "use mysql", the executable does not load.
It says: "Can't find 'boot_DBD__mysql' symbol in
perl/lib/auto/dbd/mysql/mysql.nlm". What do you think could be the
problem?

1. I have compiled Perl 5.6.1 both for Windows and NetWare and
installed them appropriately.
2. I have compiled Dbi-1.14 both for Windows and NetWare and installed
them appropriately.
3. I am using DBD-mysql-2.1017

Any thoughts on this? Any help on this is highly appreciated since I am
stuck with this for a few days now.

Thanks in advance,
Ananth.

I do not know, what you are specifying as "thread safe". The CLONE method,
which is required to share a handle between threads was added in DBD::mysql
2.1019, one year ago. I never tried whether it actually works, but I have no
reports that it doesn't, except yours.

DBI handles are not thread safe in the sense that they are reentrant. They
will never be, because they are typically related to network connections.
You cannot send 5 bytes of one request over the network, followed by then
bytes of a second request and 5 bytes of the next request. In other words:
You may share a handle between threads, but they must synchronize each other.

If your problem is reproducible, please be so kind to reduce it to a small
example script and post that to perl@lists.mysql.com.
