Got an actual e-mail from ActiveState to which I sent the reply given below.  If anyone who has more information would like to clue them in, please do:

Hello Jan,

I'm impressed that ActiveState is interested in solving this issue!  However, please excuse me if I take this opportunity to say that the inability to restart the debugger using the R command is a far bigger problem for me (which I've reported many times on the ActiveState bug tracking system), as I must continually quit the debugger instead and lose all my run-time variables! (something about "your vendor has not defined POSIX macro _SC_OPEN_MAX"...)  This happens even with build 820.

But anywho, I was using build 819 which I had installed over Build 817 which I had installed over build 815.... I always try to install the latest PPM's from ActiveState where available, however you guys are (or were) way behind with the Catalyst modules.  I probably got the DBI and DBD::ADO modules from the University of Winnipeg repository(http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/) because they seem to have more of an interest in keeping up-to-date Catalyst modules around.

Since I forced an install of DBI 1.53 from CPAN I haven't had any issues.  I've since upgraded to build 820 and still no issues so far (however I'm still using the DBI 1.53 from CPAN).

Thanks again for your interest!

Hi Hugh,

I've been pointed to your message on the Catalyst list:

http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/catalyst/users/12403?do=post_view_threaded#12403

I understand that you recompiled DBI yourself and everything is working for you now.  I would be interested to know which version of ActivePerl you are using, and where you got your DBI module, and which version it was.

ActivePerl itself currently ships with DBI 1.52 (plus some patches from
1.53) and should work fine as far as we know.

Cheers,
-Jan

As I recall there was a posting on the ActiveState support forum but AS claimed it was a problem in DBI... I think they're wrong as a simple recompilation fixes it.
