Test failed on a certain Linux platform in automated environment. It turns out that this platform has an old version of Perl modules DBI and DBD::mysql installed, as well as the OS itself being relatively old.
Allowing error code 11 to be returned from mysqlhotcopy on expected error seems harmless and will make the test pass also with older libraries.
Third updated patch - this version also includes copyright notice in added Perl script.
This patch implements a check for such modules at runtime. If modules are not found or unable to load, the test is skipped with
the following message:
[ skipped ] Test needs Perl modules DBI and DBD::mysql
Checks are done via a helper Perl script which looks for the module in a runtime environment that is as similar to that of the
mysqlhotcopy script as possible (thus not intended for Windows environments at this time).
The helper script tells mysql-test about the result by writing information to a temporary file that is later read by mysql-test.
See comments in added files (have_dbi_dbd-mysql.inc and checkDBI_DBD-mysql.pl) for details.
The patch also removes the mysqlhotcopy tests from the list of disabled tests.
