Hi,

I'm hoping someone here may be able to help with an outstanding ticket I have for DBD::ODBC.

http://rt.cpan.org/Dist/Display.html?Status=Active&Queue=DBD-ODBC
which started at http://rt.cpan.org//Ticket/Display.html?id=32789 (for strawberry perl)

The problem is people using cpan -i on strawberry perl as cpan sets INC on the command line and this overrides any changes made to INC in the Makefile.PL. As a result the change all DBDs make to add the path for DBI's header files is lost and the compile fails. This has been reported to me via mail 4 times in the last fortnight :-(

Anyone have any ideas if there is a way around this?

Unless I've missed something, there is nothing in the above except edit the makefile to add the DBI path. What I was really looking for is an automatic solution to the problem.
