Hi Tim managed to do a few quick tests with DBI-1.49 on windows here are my
results.
My OS
Windows 2000 Professions with
MS Visual C++ toolkit,
Windows Platforem SDK,
Microsoft .net framework 1.1 SDK,
Avtive Perl Ver 5.8.7 B815 (Perl 5.6001),
1) The Makefile.PL compiled with only a warning about my version of perl
being too old.
2) "nmake" ran without incident
3) "nmake test" ran but gave some warnings such as
t\05thrclone.............skipped
all skipped: this MSWin32 perl 5.006001 not configured to support
iThreads
&
t\14utf8.................skipped
all skipped: Requires perl 5.8
4) "nmake install" ran without problems
5) I also recompiled oracle-DBD without incident
6) I then ran some Perl test scipts that use DBI and DBD and they all ran
correctly though they only do simple fetches.
Cheers

> =head2 Changes in DBI 1.49 (svn rev 2283), 28th November 2005
>
> Fixed assorted attribute handling bugs in DBD::Proxy.
> Fixed croak() in DBD::NullP thanks to Sergey Skvortsov.
> Fixed handling of take_imp_data() and dbi_imp_data attribute.
> Fixed bugs in DBD::DBM thanks to Jeff Zucker.
> Fixed bug in DBI::ProfileDumper thanks to Sam Tregar.
> Fixed ping in DBD::Proxy thanks to George Campbell.
> Fixed dangling ref in $sth after parent $dbh destroyed
> with thanks to [EMAIL PROTECTED] for the bug report #13151
> Fixed prerequisites to include Storable thanks to Michael Schwern.
> Fixed $dbh->take_imp_data to be more practical.
>
> Change to require perl 5.6.1 (as advertised in 2003) not 5.6.0.
> Changed internals to be more strictly coded thanks to Andy Lester.
> Changed warning about multiple copies of Driver.xst found in @INC
> to ignore duplicated directories thanks to Ed Avis.
> Changed Driver.xst to enable drivers to define an dbd_st_prepare_sv
> function where the statement parameter is an SV. That enables
> compiled drivers to support SQL strings that are UTF-8.
> Changed "use DBI" to only set $DBI::connect_via if not already set.
> Changed docs to clarify pre-method clearing of err values.
>
> Added $sth->{ParamTypes} specification thanks to Dean Arnold.
> Added $h->{Callbacks} attribute to enable code hooks to be invoked
> when certain methods are called. For example:
> $dbh->{Callbacks}->{prepare} = sub { ... };
> With thanks to David Wheeler for the kick start.
> Added $h->{ChildHandles} (using weakrefs) thanks to Sam Tregar
> I've recoded it in C so there's no significant performance impact.
> Added $h->{Type} docs (returns 'dr', 'db', or 'st')
> Adding trace message in DESTROY if InactiveDestroy enabled.
>
> Ported DBI::ProfileDumper::Apache to mod_perl2 RC5+
> thanks to Philip M. Golluci
