#10869: mysqlPP on Perl fails to connect --------------------------------+------------------------- Reporter: bluedalmatian | Owner: nobody Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: R1 Component: Network & Internet | Version: R1/alpha4 Keywords: Perl MySQL | Blocked By: Blocking: | Has a Patch: 0 Platform: All | --------------------------------+------------------------- Connecting to MySQL via Perl does not work. AFAIK the MySQL C lib is at present incomptaible with Haiku and will not build therefore it would seem at present MySQLPP is the only short term way to connec to MySQL. The Perl MySQLPP module which implements the MySQL protocol purely in Perl will not connect. This appears to be am incompatibility between the Net::MySQL module (which MySQLPP depends on) as normal IP sockets (IO::Socket::INET) under Perl work OK The error given when connecting is DBI connect('database=dbname;host=dbserver.domain.com','username',...) failed: Couldn't connect to mysql.positive-internet.com:3306/tcp: IO::Socket::INET: connect: Operation now in progress at /boot/common/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.1/DBD/mysqlPP.pm line 109 Line 109 calls into Net::MySQL's new() function. Looking in the code for the new() function Im wondering if its the use of Unix domain sockets which is causing the problem? This occuring with Alpha 4 with Perl modules installed using the cpan command. I have been unable to test it on a more recent nightly build as I cannot get one to boot on my hardware. -- Ticket URL: <https://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/10869> Haiku <https://dev.haiku-os.org> Haiku - the operating system.
