Thanks. That's what I'll do (5.8.8). I really appreciate all the work that goes into this. By the way, oddly, PPM says that there is a DBD-ODBC module but then fails with a "file not found" when you try to install it. That's different from DBD-Oracle, which simply isn't there. Perhaps DBD-ODBC is listed as being done but isn't really? Not a big deal, just thought someone might care. Thanks again. -- Henry _______________________________________________ ActivePerl mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
