Re: Perl calling MYSQL 5 stored procedure

[Daniel Nichter]

In a nutshell:
1. Get the source for DBD-mysql
2. man patch (or basically "patch < file.patch" while in the directory w/ the DBD-mysql source should work)
3. Compile, install DBD-mysql

If you get the newest version of DBD-mysql, chances are the patch file won't match (it didn't for me when I tried about 2 months ago). I just looked at the patch file to see what it did, then patched the appropriate file by hand--the patch is very small so this isn't a difficult process. However, if you're not inclined to do such things, you'll need to find someone who can because this patch is one-of-kind so there's not really public support for it. If you tell me what version of DBD-mysql you get, I can make a patch that will work with that version.
