I'm not sure if this problem is due to using a development
DBD-mysql ppm package; I had put 3.0006_1 up in our
repository, as a few people wanted to try out the
support for stored procedures in it, but this doesn't
seem to work well on Win32 at this time. I've now
put back the latest stable release, 3.0006, in our
     http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/
repository, as well as the latest (1.52) DBI release;
perhaps installing these will help with your problem.

    By the way, can you provide a short example
script illustrating the problem you had?
