I'm just using DBD::mysql, which should be the best
thing for the job. Further, the program doesn't even
make it into the loop, as the 'print' diagnostic
I have in the code doesn't report back. Instead,
a HUGE amount of data is sent from the MySQL server over
TCP/IP to the Perl process, which happily gobbles it up
into RAM.
ichimunki's idea of the brackets for the my declarations was interesting, but produced no effect. I even removed the error checking from $s->execute() and there was no change. The only solution (read: hack) that I came up with is to limit the query to managable chunks: SELECT * FROM table LIMIT ?,? Then iterate through the entire table in LIMITed chunks. This is not the fix I was hoping for.
