DBD::mysql::AutoTypes -- automatically assign parameters' sql type to support old DBD::mysql functionality

 use DBI;
 use DBD::mysql::AutoTypes;

 my $dbh = DBI->connect('DBI:mysql:...', '...', '...') and mysql_auto_types();

Since version 2.9002 DBD::mysql requires explicit sql type for query parameters. You should change the tonnes of $dbh->selectall_arrayref() to the ugly "prepare - bind - execute - fetch" pipeline.

This module is provided to solve the problem.

You have to change only two lines of code (use the module, and apply fixup after accuring database connection).

• DBI
• DBD::mysql
• Regexp::Common

May be...

*

DBI -- Perl DataBase Interface (http://search.cpan.org/~timb/DBI/)

*

DBD::mysql -- MySQL (http://www.mysql.com) driver (http://search.cpan.org/~rudy/DBD-mysql/) and DBD::mysql ChangeLog -- look for the version 2.9002 changes (http://search.cpan.org/src/RUDY/DBD-mysql-2.9002/ChangeLog), that break old behaviour

*

Regexp::Common -- determine is data number or string
