perlquestion TomKane <p>I have been using sqlite on Win32 for some time now. I am now trying to use the sqlite3.dll file that is derived from the <a href="http://sqlcipher.net">sqlcipher</a> source code. This is a relatively new extension of SQLite that provides a pragma of "key" that lets you encrypt the entire database.</p> <p>It took me a while, but I finally found the place for swapping out the dll file: C:/Perl/site/lib/auto/DBD/SQLite/SQLite.dll (where the new dll file was appropriately renamed). I have placed the new sqlite.dll and sqlite.lib files in the directory, but I do not have a sqlite.exp file, such as was provided in the original perl/sqlite installation.</p> <p>Here is the very brief program that I used to test the new dll:</p> <code> use DBI ; my $db_Handle = DBI->connect( "dbi:SQLite:sql_cipher_test.db", "", "", { AutoCommit => 1, } ) ; </code> <p>The error message I'm getting is "Can't find 'boot_DBD__SQLite' symbol in" the dll file.</p> <p>I have a bad feeling that I'm going to have to rebuild SQLite.pm or the .xs file, or both, or something else that's really scary, in order to get this to work.</p> <p>If anyone has wisdom on the matters of linking perl to dll files (to sqlite.dll in particular), I would greatly appreciate your advice.</p>
