Well, first of all, ActivePerl 5.12.2 build 1203 and later already include
DBD-Pg, so there is no need to install it from PPM unless PPM has a later
version (but see below).
That being the case, there's no point in me maintaining separate PPMs at
wxPerl at all - which is really primarily just a wxPerl repository plus
whatever is necessary to support that. I uploaded the existing PPMs
simply because I had happened to build DBD::Pg for some of my own work
and at the time there were a few 'hoops' to jump through building a VC6
/ msvcrt.dll version.
If ActivePerl provides DBD::Pg anyway, no need for me to update.
I noticed in February that patches were applied to PostgreSQL source to
make mingw builds work. The changes looked like much the same as might
be required to get a VC6 build of libpq.dll + libpq.lib to work.
So perhaps next time AS takes a look at automating a PPM build of
DBD::Pg + static dependencies it may be a lot simpler than the initial
build was.
