[ic] Switching from HIGH mode to RPC mode problem

[Mark Bryant]

Hi Everyone,

In an attempt to prevent the odd order from arriving without it's credit 
card number details when PGP fails under high server load, I've changed to 
RPC mode as suggested by the many messages I read about it on google.

Now whenever a page contains a [perl][/perl] block, of which there are 
quite a few, I now get this error message appearing in the log followed by 
the block of perl concerned. The page name varies of course, but the error 
remains the same.

[10/August/2005:16:12:21 +0000] eros /cgi-bin/eros/ord/basket.html Safe: 
Can't locate object method "TIEHASH" via package "DBI::st" at 
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/i386-linux/DBI.pm line 1007.

I've googled loads for this error and I see lots of people talking about 
it, but no one seems to give details of an appropriate fix. Please could 
someone explain what I need to do to put this right. I don't really 
understand why the [perl] blocks work in HIGH mode and not in RPC mode, but 
I guess there's some complicated technical
reason why.

I've searched CPAN for DBI::st incase it's something I needed to install 
but nothing seems to exist with that name:

cpan> i DBI::st
CPAN: Storable loaded ok
Going to read /root/.cpan/Metadata

Strange distribution name [DBI::st]
No objects found of any type for argument DBI::st

I'm using the following on a RedHat Linux system:

         IC 4.8.7

         Perl 5.6.1

         Digest::MD5 found (v2.30).
         LWP::Simple found (v1.36).
         MIME::Base64 found (v2.18).
         SQL::Statement found (v0.1021).
         Safe::Hole found (v0.08).
         Storable found (v2.06).
         Tie::Watch found (v1.0).
         URI::URL found (v5.03).

         GDBM available (v1.05)
         No Berkeley DB_File.
         DBI enabled (v1.35), available drivers:

In the mean time I've gone back to HIGH mode until a solution to this odd 
problem can be found.

Many thanks

Mark
