as an added note, I've tried the test on a couple of other boxes, a production box with:

> Microsoft Windows NT 4.00.1381
> ActiveState perl v5.6.0 built for MSWin32-x86-multi-thread
> $Sybase::DBlib::VERSION ==> 1.34

which works just fine (I don't know what version of Open Client this box has (nor how to find out)), and another production box running:

> Linux: Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS 3.0
> # $Id: DBlib.pm,v 1.49 2004/08/03 14:14:00 mpeppler Exp $
> Open Client 11.9.2

which dies with a different problem (without crashing perl):

	"Error: Can't call method "config" on an undefined 
	value at test1.pl line 4."

I've also run from my w2k box against a 12.5 server with an identical crash:

> Adaptive Server Enterprise/12.5.2/EBF 11790/P/Sun_svr4/OS 5.8/ase1252/1831/32-bi
> t/FBO/Fri Apr  9 10:37:04 2004

I'm hoping someone can help me debug?

Subject: bcp_init crashes perl


a non-denominational season's greeting to everyone, 
I've downloaded and installed sybperl and am experiencing a perl crash when running one of the sample programs.  The message I get is an OK dialogue with the following:
        "Perl.lexe has generated errors and will be closed by Windows.  You will need to restart the 
        program. An error log is being created." 
here's the program I run: 
> use Sybase::BCP; 
> 
> $bcp = new Sybase::BCP 'developer1', 'xmas', 'udevgdr2'; 
> $bcp->config(INPUT => 'tst.bcp', 
>     OUTPUT => 'wa.dbo.ec_tst', 
>     SEPARATOR => '|' 
>     ); 
> $bcp->run; 
I've traced the problem inside of the ->run() and have found that it is bcp_init() that crashes perl.  I'm running on: 
> Microsoft Windows 2000 - 5.00.2195 SP4 
> ActiveState Perl v5.8.4 built for MSWin32-x86-multi-thread 
> $Id: Sybperl.pm,v 1.31 2001/08/09 00:02:06 mpeppler Exp $ 
> $Id: DBlib.pm.in,v 1.39 2002/01/11 23:50:29 mpeppler Exp $ 
with using Open Client 12.5, against: 
> Adaptive Server Enterprise/11.9.2.6/1290/P/EBF 10491 ESD1/Sun_svr4/OS 5.5.1/FBO/Mon Jul 15 06:54:22 2002 
what can I do to fix this? 
1,000 thanks - erick
