There is no DBI::Informix package that I know of. I suspect that your question means that you are running on Windows, rather than Unix, and using ActiveState Perl, and are wanting a PPM for DBD::Informix on Windows. Sadly, I have not yet got DBD::Informix running on Windows - partly for lack of motivation, partly for lack of time. So, there is no PPM available. Various people at various times have reported various issues; due to the lack of a test environment, I've not tested it recently (meaning in the last 5+ years). Fundamentally, it hasn't been enough of an itch for me to be particularly interested in scratching it - which may or may not be wholly a good idea, but I'm only a volunteeer when it comes to doing DBD::Informix (I'm not specifically paid by IBM or anyone else to do it). I'm hoping to do some testing on Windows between now and the end of the year (hoping means that - no promises). If anyone needs it sooner than that, they'll have to provide some round tuits. -- Jonathan Leffler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> #include <disclaimer.h> Guardian of DBD::Informix - v2007.0826 - http://dbi.perl.org "Blessed are we who can laugh at ourselves, for we shall never cease to be amused."
