thomas895 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hello Monks,

I've been struggling with an issue in Catalyst(although this seems more DBIx::Class related). When I use Catalyst's create helper script, like so...

~/MyApp/$ script/myapp_create.pl model DB DBIC::Schema MyApp::Schema c +reate=static dbi:SQLite:data.sqlite on_connect_do="PRAGMA foreign_key +s = ON"

...as given in the tutorial, I am presented with this helpful(not) error:

Attempt to reload DBIx/Class/Schema/Loader/Base.pm aborted. Compilation failed in require at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.12.3/DBIx/ +Class/Schema/Loader.pm line 307.

An internet search yielded this, but that did not help, and isn't for my system anyways.
As you may have guessed, my Perl version is 5.12.3.
I installed DBIx::Class::Schema::Loader from first the CPAN, then the openSUSE 11.4 repos.

Is there anything I could do to fix this? I'd really like to use DBIC, but I guess I could find a way to make the DBI model work, too.

Thanks,
Thomas

Update: As it turns out, it seems to go beyond Catalyst. When I run the script dbicdump, without any arguments, I am presented with:

Unfortunately, none of that means much to me, so I did an internet search for it. And guess what? It's specific to openSUSE 11.4 running Perl 5.12.3. I tried the fix suggested in the first comment, but that seemed to have no effect -- the same error remains.
