(excuse me, if it's a little off topic)

hello all,

I am just trying to (finally) upgrade from Pg.pm to
DBI (DBD::Pg) ...

I encounter the following problem:

Until today, Pg.pm delivered a 't' or a 'f' for
true or false boolean values.

Since the upgrade, DBI delivers a '1' or a '0'.

This is a problem for me, because of hundred thousands
lines of code containing many many comparisons in perl
like: if ($member eq "t") { foo; } -- which I really
don't fance to change one by one...

Question: Does anyone know if there's possibly a
parameter to set to tell DBI to deliver 't' and 'f'
instead of '1' and '0' ?

thanks,

happy new year ;-))

Mit freundlichem Gruß
