I support DBD::Informix. I do not know whether or not the author of DBD::Informix4, G=F6ran Thyni <goran@bildbasen.se>, reads this news group, not that I think your problem is something he needs to worry about. I realize that English is not your native tongue, and your English is far better than my German. > When i install the Modul Data-ShowTable (witch was needed bei DBI ) > accoured an error: >=20 > server_name:/lib/modules/Data-ShowTable-3.3 # perl Makefile.PL > Checking if your kit is complete... > Looks good > Writing Makefile for Data::ShowTable >=20 > server_name:/lib/modules/Data-ShowTable-3.3 # make > mkdir ./blib > [...] > Manifying ./blib/man3/Data::ShowTable.3pm > /usr/bin/pod2man: ShowTable.pm is missing required section: SYNOPSIS This is a warning, not an error.

Which version of ESQL/C are you using? Unless you are exploiting some version 4.1x ESQL/C (presumably an SCO port with iBCS on your Linux box), then you should be using DBD::Informix and not DBD::Informix4. If you're using the freely available ESQL/C for Linux, then you have ESQL/C 7.24 and you need to use DBD::Informix.
