After extensive testing of various versions of DBI (up to 1.32) and
DBD::ODBC (up to 1.02), here are our recommendations for versions to
use with Sap-DB.

DBI: use version 1.25

Versions > 1.25 seem to work ok at first sight, but have shown random
(memory overwrite?) crashes in CGI-scripts under some circumstances.

DBD-ODBC: use version 0.38

We recommend to use a version < 0.42, as in 0.42 the ping() method was
implemented differently, which significantly reduced Sap-DB's catalog
cache hit rate. The more recent (1.x) versions of DBD-ODBC do not seem
to pass the make tests!

We have tested on Red Hat 7.2 and 7.3, with Sap-DB up to 7.3.0.29.

Hope this saves somebody some headache!
