I just tried running a perl script that I wrote about a year ago. It had
worked for me in the past. Now it doesn't work. I can view data from a
table, but I am unable to either drop a table or create a table. I'm
running PostgreSQL 7.3.4 and DBI 1.35 along with Perl 5.8.1.
Here's my script for creating a table:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
# createfoo.pl
use strict;
use DBI;
my $dbh = DBI->connect( 'dbi:Pg:dbname=test','dbuser','password',
{
RaiseError => 1,
AutoCommit => 0
}
) || die "Database connection not made:
$DBI::errstr";
my $query = $dbh->prepare(
"CREATE TABLE foo (foo_id INT4," .
"foo_name TEXT)"
);
$query->execute();
$dbh->disconnect();
Has anything changed to DBI? I haven't found anything on google
suggesting that it has.

You have AutoCommit set to off, and never commit the transaction. Therefore,
the table creation is rolled back. Add a
$dbh->commit()
after your execute line and it should work as expected.
Also note that your "die" on connect will not work because you have RaiseError
set: Leave it off for the connect, then turn it on again immediately via:
$dbh->{RaiseError}=1;
