I noticed DBI was upgraded in subversion to the latest ppport.h (in dbipport.h) and the recommendations that ppport.h has made.
dbipport.h seems to be ppport.h from Devel::PPPort. The DBI::DBD docs say to copy dbivport.h from the latest DBI distribution to your DBD distribution - which I have done again - I am happy with this and understand it. I have implemented the recommendations that "perl ppport.h dbdimp.c" has made in DBD::ODBC. However, "perl ppport.h dbdimp.c" for DBD::ODBC suggests adding ppport.h to DBD::ODBC's dbdimp.c and including it in the DBD::ODBC distribution. I cannot do that since I'll get dbipport.h and ppport.h and redeclarations of macros. I may be missing something but I don't understand why DBI includes ppport.h as dbipport.h since it stops me including a newer version of pport.h. I expected the way this would work is that when building DBI, you'd get DBI's copy of ppport.h but when building a DBD::* you'd get DBD::*'s copy of ppport.h. What to do? Martin
