I also made a more "decent" trace and it looks like DBI finds something. The first trace here fails

      !! info: '' CLEARED by call to prepare method
      -> prepare for DBD::ODBC::db (DBI::db=HASH(0x3fa28a8)~0x3fa2740 
+'select BBTicker, WMRic from FXSpots where id = 218') thr#1639fc8

and this trace succeeded

the only differens I can see is in the fetch method where the failed trace has "undef" whereas the working one has my valid value.

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
