The fix for bug 212095 breaks earlier versions of DBD::mysql. I am using 
perl-DBD-MySQL-1.2216-4.i386.rpm from Red Hat 7.2, and checksetup.pl now fails. 
The checksetup.pl from version 2.16.3 works fine.

/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0/i386-linux/Bundle/DBD/mysql.pm
... has version 2.0416
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0/i386-linux/Mysql.pm
... has version 1.2216

DBI is version 1.18

Please see the checksetup.pl output below for other version numbers.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.run checksetup.pl

Actual Results:

Version: unspecified → 2.16.4
Try upgrading DBI to v1.19. If that fails, try the latest release.
Status: UNCONFIRMED → NEW
Ever confirmed: true
I installed perl-DBI-1.21-1.i386.rpm from Red Hat 7.3, and now checksetup.pl 
works fine.
Did 1.19 not work, or was 1.21 ust hte first version you tried.? If you tried it
because it came with a redhat release, which one?
I did not find a 1.19 RPM. The 1.21 RPM came from the Red Hat 7.3 release, and 
was the first one I tried. I think the 1.18 RPM came from Red Hat 7.2, which is 
what I am running.
Someone want to test for the lowest supported version? justdave, myk?

OK, we need to do one of two things here...

1) up our minimum DBI version to the lowest one supported by the new syntax
2) special-case our table lookup to use the appropriate syntax for the version
that's installed.

The second would probably be preferable unless we can come up with some other
good excuse why we need a newer version of DBI.  The second will be the only
acceptible option on the 2.16 branch.

I'm testing now to determine the minimum version that supports this syntax.

OK, minimum DBI for the syntax we're using is 1.20.

However....  any DBI < 1.25 will segfault the current 2.16 branch checksetup.pl
on Perl 5.6.0.  DBI 1.20 and up work fine on Perl 5.6.1 and up though.
Trunk (2.17.x) is immune from this, because we already require DBI 1.32.

The segfault in Perl 5.6.0 was a mismatch between DBD::mysql 2.9003 and DBI <
1.25 :)  Obviously the newer versions of DBD::mysql require newer DBIs. :)  If I
downgraded DBD::mysql to a 1.x version, the segfaults went away.

If we're using DBI < 1.20 use the old syntax, otherwise use the new syntax.

Recompling DBI means that you need to recompile DBD::*

Will that code work if DBI isn't installed? It will on trunk because thats all
in BEGIN, but I'm not sure about branch.

Also did we ever test if its < or <= that we need?
checksetup will bail after the version checks long before that code is reached
if DBI isn't installed.

And yes, I tested.  1.19 errors out, 1.20 works.
Anyone have any additional review comments?  Was hoping to release 2.16.5
tonight, and this would need to be in it.  It's the last one left...

Patch for 2.16 branch

Does 'Eww' count as a review comment?

I guess this is OK, assuming testing and all that.

Patch for 2.16 branch

Nit: the global $sth declaration here is obtuse since its only obvious use at
this point in the code is for use in the else{} clause.  I suggest declaring it
within the else{} clause here and then declaring it globally farther down the
script where it actually gets used repeatedly in a global context.

Other than that, it works and looks good.

I did end up making the change Myk suggested before checking in.  I did test it
with that change, and it still works.
