| Subject: | DBD::AnyData has problems importing from DBI handles. |
It turns out that under certain circumstances, when you doing an "ad_import" from a DBI handle, DBD::AnyData will try to stringify the reference to the DBI handle and use it as a literal file name.
I sent this patch to the author on 7/7/04, but have not heard anything back:
