That's true; if you need a patch utility, try the Perl Power tools: http://ppt.perl.org/. > Or... if you say that it is a pure perl module, I can just > build it using nmake. Yes, nmake would be needed for Win32 ActivePerl in building a package from the CPAN sources. However, the Apache-DBI ppm package is at the same version as the package on CPAN, so either way, you'll have to try some patches. -- best regards, randy
