Hello,

I have a problem with DB handling in Perl.

Module 1 ---calls--\> Module 2

Module 1 creates a DB Connection and passes the DB handle to Module2.

In module 2, I perform some Selects and Updates using this DB Handle.

Now Selects are ok....but after Update, when I give

```nohighlight
dbh->commit()

```

.....I see nothing is done in the database.

Could somebody please let me know how to debug this...or what might be happening in the background.

Thanks:confused:
