Thank you so much, reverting back to version 1.87 of SQL::Abstract indeed resolved the issue. Great!

Rather than reverting to SQL::Abstract, just install SQL::Abstract::Classic. If both are installed and the version of SQL::Abstract is too new (i.e., it is version 1.87 or newer), then SQL::Abstract::Classic will be used.

Hi Papi,

you can specify the version using '@' when installing perl packages, e.g., you could use cpanm SQL::Abstract@1.87 in this case.

However, as Glenn suggests, I have now also installed SQL::Abstract::Classic since, not least because inadvertedly I will (or already have) update SQL::Abstract at some point anyway having forgotten all about this issue, lol.
