Re: [item-field] is failing -- can't debug!

******    message to minivend-users from Alan Sparks <asparks@nss.harris.com>     ******

Unfortunately (for me), the DBI/DBD stuff seems to work properly. 
Passes its tests, passes my tests.  Minivend even works, as far as [sql
type=list] loops and [item-code] and [item-description] tags are
concerned.

It's just that [item-field] and [if-field] have stopped.  Even after a
reinstallation of Minivend.  Are others using DBI-1.06 and DBD::Oracle
0.59 successfully?

Thanks.
