Miracles never cease - blame it on a snow-storm in Lake Tahoe, CA and wireless connectivity. OTOH, the upload of version 2007.0225 included the wrong Announce file - hence version 2007.0226.
IBM Informix Database Driver for Perl DBI Version 2007.0226 (2007-02-25) 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 (v1.54 - 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. New in release 2007.0226: * Support for CSDK 3.00. * Minor bug fixes. * No exploitation of new features in DBI. New in release 2005.02: * The changes here are all related to improved diagnostics during the build process. For example, esqlcc works in debug mode once more. * Fix bug with INT8 handling on 64-bit platforms. * Identify dubious Solaris linker flags (-z ignore is the trouble maker; -z lazyload is the memorable one; -z combreloc usually occurs with them and might or might not be damaging). * Identify dubious AIX compiler flags (-qlanglvl=ansi). * Add DBD_INFORMIX_NO_RESOURCE environment variable for under-privileged Informix users (those with CONNECT privilege only). * Add DBD_INFORMIX_NO_DBCREATE environment variable for a different class of under-privileged users (those not permitted to create databases because of ONCONFIG parameter DBCREATE_PERMISSION). * These mean that if there is a database to which you can connect, you can test DBD::Informix and have good (though not perfect) confidence that all is OK. New in release 2005.01: * Various minor bug fixes made as reported - see ChangeLog. * Release required to handle Informix ClientSDK 2.90, which includes ESQL/C 2.90. The previous release (CSDK 2.81, included ESQL/C 9.51), and the older DBD::Informix compilation based decisions off the ESQL/C version, rejecting 2.90 as obsolete and unusable. * Note that a number of obsolete versions of ESQL/C are no longer supported. Known problem: * t/t91udts.t sometimes warns about an uninitialized variable on subroutine entry. It seems to be harmless - but it is very irksome. Support email address: * This release is supported by Jonathan Leffler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>. * You may also report your bugs via the CPAN resolution tracking system: http://rt.cpan.org/ * Such bug reports can be sent by email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]; they also get sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED], etc. As always, see the ChangeLog file for details about what has changed.
