Hi Bart
I have had exactly the same experience on Win NT / 2000. Are you using ActiveState Perl by any chance ? Unfortunately the only way I managed to get DBD::Informix to work was to recompile Perl from the source making sure that the Flavour=ActiveState line in the makefile was commented out, and then build DBI and DBD::Informix. It seems that something turned on by ActiveState causes problems. I can confirm that this works, but you will loose stuff like PPM etc. Cheers Paul ******************************************************************************* Important.
