building perl DBD::Informix on 9.21

I'm trying to build perl DBD::Informix 1.00.PC1 and it fails to pass tests: perl Makefile.pl make make test t/t83oconn..........ok t/t90ius............Null pointer for lvarchar at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/i386-linux/DBI.pm line 1105. ok t/t91udts...........DBD::Informix::st execute failed: SQL: -9602: Illegal attempt to convert a collection type into another type. at t/t91udts.t line 100.

The first is a known minor problem with the code for LVARCHAR -- I think I posted a patch for it nearly a year ago. The second is also a known problem with a slightly dubious test that can fail for a variety of reasons. Unless you are about to stress LVARCHARs and smart blobs, what you've got is OK. Also, please note that there are instructions on the information needed when reporting problems in the DBD::Informix documentation (eg the README file). It is OK to ask the question in this forum. -- Yours, Jonathan Leffler (Jonathan.Leffler@Informix.com) #include <disclaimer.h> Guardian of DBD::Informix v1.00.PC1 -- http://www.perl.com/CPAN "I don't suffer from insanity; I enjoy every minute of it!"
