Hi,

I have:

[martin@brimer DBD-ODBC-1.06]$ perl -MDBI -e 'DBI->installed_versions'
  Perl : 5.008
  OS : linux
  DBI : 1.38
  DBD::mysql : 2.9002
  DBD::Sponge : 11.09
  DBD::Proxy : 0.2004
  DBD::ODBC : 1.05
  DBD::Multiplex : 0.9
  DBD::ExampleP : 11.10

I was upgrading DBD::ODBC to 1.06 when tests 02simple 13 onwards failed. I've
reduced this to the following simple perl and output:

use DBI;

my @data_sources = DBI->data_sources('ODBC');
print "Data sources:\n\t", join("\n\t",@data_sources),"\n\n";

[martin@brimer DBD-ODBC-1.06]$ perl x.pl
Usage: DBD::ODBC::dr::data_sources(drh, attr = NULL) at
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/i686-linux/DBI.pm line 964.

perldoc DBI appears to say:
         @data_sources = DBI->data_sources($driver_name, \%attr, $dbh);
under SYNOPSIS and:
             @ary = DBI->data_sources($driver);
             @ary = DBI->data_sources($driver, \%attr);
under "data_sources"

The above code works fine with DBI 1.13 and DBD::ODBC 0.28.

Any ideas?

Martin
