No DB::DB routine defined

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

I have googled. I have looked around the monk site. I've twiddled read-only files. Nothing has helped me get past this except some kind monk out there (you?) with the answer. I hope.

[chicks@chicks nws_ahps]$ perl -d:GraphVizProf random.cgi > random.dot

All I want is a subroutine calling hierarchy for a script I'm stuck fixing. It doesn't seem like too much to ask. I'm trying to do this on a Red Hat 8 system with the stock perl-5.8.0-55 rpm. I might assume it's Red Hat breaking Perl again except that google shows BSD people having trouble with OpenLDAP getting the same message.

Any ideas?

This sounds very similar to a problem reported with Devel::SmallProf at A substitute for Devel::Smallprof?. That too was a profiling module, reported the "No DB::DB" problem and involved Time::HiRes. I posted a workaround patch for SmallProf which might point a way to work around the problem with GraphVizProf.pm and the author of the module released a new version which fixed it properly. I couldn't get to CPAN to check if this might be a similar problem with GraphVizProf, I'm not sure why, but I'll update if/when I do manage to get there. Examine what is said, not who speaks.

But when I have finished, if the solution is not beautiful, I know it is wrong." -Richard Buckminster Fuller If I understand your problem, I can solve it! Of course, the same can be said for you.

Please post your code (esp. lines 1 - 9), but at a guess check your prepare statement "Pain is weakness leaving the body, I find myself in pain everyday" -me	[reply]
