Note that everyone can also just compile the module for themselves
with ActivePerl:
cpan M/MJ/MJEVANS/DBD-ODBC-1.23_4.tar.gz
If you don't have Microsoft VC on your PATH, then this will download
and install MinGW for you (inside the Perl tree) and use that instead.
This should work for the latest builds of all major Perl versions,
5.8.9.827, 5.10.1.1007 and 5.12.0.1200. On older versions you may
need to install MinGW with PPM "by-hand" first:
ppm install MinGW
cpan M/MJ/MJEVANS/DBD-ODBC-1.23_4.tar.gz
On ActivePerl 5.8.8 and earlier you will have to download, install
and configure MinGW and dmake manually though, so you may not want
to bother...
Cheers,
