Re: Perl & Informix

As various other people have pointed out, you should consider using DBI and DBD::Informix. Since you have LiveWire Pro, it will be critical for you to read the information in the Informix.Licence file which is part of the DBD::Informix distribution.

Where is DBD::Informix ====================== The latest version of DBD::Informix should be available by accessing: http://www.hermetica.com/technologia/perl/DBI You can also go to CPAN (Comprehensive Perl Archive Network) via: http://www.perl.org/CPAN/modules/by-module/07_Database_Interfaces There are two sub-directories: DBI for the latest version of DBI, and DBD for the latest version of DBD::Informix and all the other DBD modules. In case of doubt, I use the FTP site: ftp://wcarchive.cdrom.com/perl/CPAN/modules/by-module/DBD This is based in Walnut Creek, near San Francisco, CA, USA. There may well be another CPAN mirror site closer to you -- check in the web pages for The Perl Institute (http://www.perl.org). Note that CPAN automatically multiplexes your download requests to a mirror site near you. Last updated: 1997-05-20 for DBD::Informix Version 0.55
