Re: Bug when settings AutoCommit?

I am unable to set the value of AutoCommit, RaiseError, or PrintError.
The following code...

$attr_ref->{RaiseError} = $self->{dbh}->{RaiseError};
$attr_ref->{PrintError} = $self->{dbh}->{PrintError};
$attr_ref->{AutoCommit} = $self->{dbh}->{AutoCommit};
$self->{dbh}->{RaiseError} = 1;
$self->{dbh}->{PrintError} = 0;
$self->{dbh}->{AutoCommit} = 0;

...gives me this output:
DBI::db=HASH(0x12dd470) trace level set to 0x0/1 (DBI @
0x0/214748364800) in DBI 1.58-ithread (pid 12248)
<- FETCH('RaiseError')= 1 at DBLayer.pm line 108
<- FETCH('PrintError')= 1 at DBLayer.pm line 109
<- FETCH('AutoCommit')= 1 at DBLayer.pm line 110 # these three are OK
<- STORE('RaiseError' 1)= 1 at DBLayer.pm line 111
<- STORE('PrintError' 0)= 1 at DBLayer.pm line 112
<- STORE('AutoCommit' 0)= 1 at DBLayer.pm line 113 # these three seem wrong

Notice the funky syntax in the last three lines. Why are the 1s and 0s
inside of the parens of STORE?

That's just the way the DBI trace log works at that trace level.
(I may change that for the next release to reduce the risk of confusion.)

The STORE method on the tied handle hash always returns 1, regardless
of the value stored.

Indeed, checking their values immediately after this shows that all
three vars are still set to 1; my changes did not take effect.

Please post a complete (self-contained) but tiny example that others can
run to check.

This seems like a bug in DBI, but surely others would have found it?
I just upgraded to 1.58 from 1.54, and see the same problem in both
versions. Any ideas would be appreciated. Maybe I could turn on more
verbose DBI output?
