Updated p5-DBD-mysql to 1.2219
Changes since 2.2216 are missing, here is the changes from 1.2215 to 1.2216 :
* Portability changes for mSQL 3 and MySQL 4.
* Added transaction support for MySQL.
(Bob Lyons <lyons@nextrials.com>)
* dbd/dbdimp.c: Fixed MAXLENGTH warning; used to hint for
a not existing mysql_maxlength, which should read
mysql_max_length. (Paul DuBois <paul@snake.net>)
* Fixed installation problem when a directory was specified,
but did not exist. (Will Partain <partain@dcs.gla.ac.uk>)
* Fixed that mysql_errno wasn't used properly. (Chris Adams
<cmadams@hiwaay.net>)
* Fixed test suite problem, when user name and password
have been interpolated. (Bruno Hivert (LMC)
<lmcbrhi@lmc.ericsson.se>)
* mysql_insertid and mysql_affectedrows are no longer treated
as integers, but longs. Thanks to Michael G Schwern
<schwern@pobox.com>.
