Can anyone tell me if this is available and supported? I cannot find any references to NT on the CPAN site. Thanks!

The source did build on NT a year or two ago -- I've not done anything consciously to break it (MS might have done, but not me). However, if you're using ActiveState Perl (probably wise) you have to work out what all their bells, whistles and other compilation options mean to a poor hard-working DBD module. You need a C compiler - the one used to build your Perl. You need IBM Informix CSDK, but make sure the warnings are not cranked up as CSDK was (is?) not good about things like const-correctness. Let me know how it goes. Since I don't have a C compiler on a Windows machine, I don't ever do the building myself - not any more. -- Jonathan Leffler #include <disclaimer.h> Email: jleffler@earthlink.net, jleffler@us.ibm.com Guardian of DBD::Informix v2003.04 -- http://dbi.perl.org/
