So I'm learning Class::DBI, for some reason... :-) Accidentally, I called ->retrieve on the top-level class, not on the table's class, and got an infinite recursion. You can simulate this by doing perl -MClass::DBI -e 'print Class::DBI->retrieve(1)' -- Rule the Empire through force. -- Shogun Tokugawa

On the current beta version (which you probably want to try): http://www.tmtm.com/Class-DBI-0.90_03.tar.gz I get an entirely different error: Failure while doing '' with 'SearchSQL in Class::DBI' Can't locate object method "db_Main" via package "Class::DBI" at /usr/local/share/perl/5.8.0/Ima/DBI.pm line 423. at -e line 1 No sth at /usr/local/share/perl/5.8.0/Class/DBI.pm line 685. This all happens, obviously enough, as there's no database connection set up yet. I'll see if I can find a convenient place to insert a sensible error. Thanks, Tony

The latest beta should handle this case better: http://www.tmtm.com/Class-DBI-0.90_04.tar.gz I've marked this as closed. If you've any further issues, please be sure to let me know :) Thanks, Tony
