Thank you for the followup. Various people are trying to figure out how to handle DBD::xyz installs when Perl is 32/64 bit and the RDBMS is 64/32 bits. Hopefully Makefile.PL will be able to figure it out eventually, but it appears to be very platform and RDBMS dependent so the more data points the better.. -- Mac :}) ** I normally forward private questions to the appropriate mail list. ** Ask Smarter: http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html Give a hobbit a fish and he eats fish for a day.
