IBM Informix Database Driver for Perl DBI Version 2007.0904 (2007-09-04) has been uploaded to CPAN.
IBM Informix Database Driver for Perl (also known as DBD::Informix) is the driver code that enables Perl 5.6.1 or later to access Informix databases via the DBI module (but if you are not already using Perl 5.8.8 - or any later version - you should be planning to upgrade). You will need the code for DBI version 1.38 or later as well (v1.59 - or any later version - is recommended). The code for DBD::Informix is available for download via: http://www.perl.org/CPAN/modules/by-category/07_Database_Interfaces http://dbi.perl.org/ ** When you successfully build this module, use the ItWorks (Perl) ** script to report your configuration to the maintenance team (meaning ** Jonathan Leffler) at [EMAIL PROTECTED] ** The ItWorks script does not send email to anybody; you have to do ** that yourself.
