No special version, DBD's are cross platform as are majority of all perl
modules. You don't need Visual C++ compiler if you use ActiveState perl.
Use the ppm utility to download and install DBI and DBD::*.
Search the docs (ActiveState) for ppm.

Subject: RE: DBI and DBD::Informix between Unix and windows
Thanks Darrtl for helpful information,
What I have, is Informix server on NT box, I want to put the script I
have
on
the same machine, so why I need to make ODBC connection,
when I implemented this same case on Unix - Solaris -
I was able to run the script without any problem at all
Also, is the DBI and DBD::Informix the Same that used on Unix,
I mean there is no special version for Win platform? So I can
use the same that I used on Unix.
On Unix I installed Perl then Installed DBI and DBD, that was by
compiling
and building the
DBI and DBD, that smae applies for Windows, I mean do I need CC compiles
on
Win?
Regards,
Mahdi.

You'll need to install the Perl, hopefully from ActiveState, and DBI and
DBD::Informix on the NT machine. I've never done a connection to an
Informix
database on an NT machine but to connect to database on a Unix machine,
you'll have to install the Informix connectivity software, which you
should
be able to download free from the Informix website. Then you'll have to
create an ODBC connection and point your script at the ODBC connection.
HTH,

Hi All,
I am now writing a Perl DBI script to access Informix database using
DBD::Informix,
everything is working fine with me on Unix ( script and db server on the
same Unix box,
what about if I want to implement the same
script on Windows NT to connect to Informix server on NT also?
What I need to install, what changes to be done to the
script?
On Unix I had installed DBI 1.15 and DBD::Informix 1.0, as I know Perl
is
platform independent.
It seems I am missing something here, and ideas or hints please??
Regards,
Mahdi.
