Perl CGI Scripts - MySQL max_allowed_packet
Error Troubleshooting
Error Message (from web server error_log file):
DBD::mysql::st execute failed: Got a packet bigger than 'max_allowed_packet'
- Even if the value for $CGI::POST_MAX is high enough for processing
by CGI.pm, the MySQL max-allowed-packet database variable may be configured
for a lower value.
Solution: The max-allowed-packet MySQL variable may be
increased by entering the updated value into the mysqld configuration
file (my.ini on Windows or /etc/my.conf on UNIX):
--max-allowed-packet=8M
