Dear Jeff,
I think this is great. I tried to install AnyData
and DBD::AnyData.
Unfortunately I seem to have hit some problems with the
XML format, which is the one I am most interested in.
On Windows NT I did the usual for both your modules.
perl makefile.PL; nmake; nmake test; nmake install
The failure was that make test from anyData shows
AnyData
XML ...
and then it hangs. By editing anyData.pm
I am able to determine that it never returns
from the following line in adExport
return $ad->{parser}->export($ad->{storage},$tfile,$tflags);
I could not follow it any deeper.
I copied test.pl to tolkin_test.pl and started editing it
and running it manually.
By removing the XML format I was able to get all
the other formats to pass (except HTMLtable).
So I suspected a problem with my XML::Twig install.
On Windows NT I did the usual, but now for Twig 2.02
perl makefile.PL; nmake; nmake test; nmake install
But some of the Twig tests failed.
Is this the problem?
Here is the output of nmake test on Twig:

Stop.
But the file test2_1.xml is there. SO I do not understand what is
happening.

Unmfortunately
http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Downloads/ActivePerl/PPM/Packages
shows that XML::Twig is not available.
I also tried to install XML::Parser myself
and got a problem compiling. But it *seems* that Twig only needs
the XML::Parser interface, not any of the code. Is that true?
2. A separate question. While attempting to diagnose the problem
I see that the new method in XML.pm says:
if ($self->{col_names}) {
## something goes here :-)
}
This looks like it needs to be fixed for me to provide my own names,
which I need to do. Is that correct?
3. I replied to the email lists, rather than just Jeff, in case
another user or developer hit a problem like this, or could
benefit from my experience. But I would be willing to move
this discussion elsewhere if we can agree on where.
Thanks,
Steve
