Re: GUI modules
It's a one-line install via CPAN. It's the second thing I install when I install Strawberry on a fresh system (Term::Readline is the first). If installing for your client is an issue. just build a carton and give them that with your software.

Re: Oracle is included - how about Sybase?

I assume the steps to doing so are: 1) Identify a FREE downloadable client library package for Sybase, a'la Oracle Insta-client Have you done some research in this area? Yes. I believe SAP still provides a clean free user client. I have to review since Sybase has been bought by SAP. If I'm wrong, QED. 2) Build using Strawberry One problem is that the make requires interaction. Is it a problem for your automation if the make prompts for input or can you ignore it? Interaction has to be avoided (either by setting proper env variables or passing proper command line params to Makefile.PL/Build.PL). The most important think is that we need DBD::Sybase to be built with gcc/mingw-w64 compiler (quite often various SDK's come only with *.lib libraries suitable for MSVC compiler). I currently build DBD::Sybase in Strawberry - the full-blown client install provides the proper files. I hope the free sdk does. And it also matters how many megabytes does DBD::Sybase add to strawberry perl. Not more than Oracle, esp if the libs are in an externally installed client. 3) Sumbit something to someone in order to include. This, of course, is where I need info. :-) Do I pull down a git, modify and create a pull request somewhere? Is there an FAQ on this I missed? All modules bundled with strawberry perl are built from sources at release build time. I am not in favor of including packages built by some else. Of course. But I assume that I just can't say it works, go add it. Don't I have to give you something? A Bundle file? Some commands? Do I downoad the Strawberry Perl module from some git server and send you a pul request? So there must be a functional unattended installation scenarion how to build DBD::Sybase with gcc/mingw-w64 (+ obviously some kind of Sybase client library) And as you might guess the Sybase client library must be available for free and for both 32/64bit MS Windows. Hmm. That may be the deal breaker - I've only got it to successfully work with the 32 bit version. Anyway, do not take this e-mail as a promise of any kind :) None taken. At least I know you'll consider it so it's worth my while to continue research. Thanks -- kmx -- Matthew O. Persico
Re: Oracle is included - how about Sybase?
We've tried FreeTDS in the past at my current gig - not reliable. We're connecting to a boatload of Sybase databases from UNIX boxes - I'm trying to distribute the work over underutilized Windows boxes without rewriting the world, so ODBC in this case is not applicable. On Wed, Dec 3, 2014 at 5:38 PM, Daniel Kasak d.j.kasak...@gmail.com wrote: There are a few options for Sybase: http://www.freetds.org/userguide/perl.htm I use FreeTDS + unixODBC + DBD::ODBC for SQL Server on Linux. If you're after cross-platform support, I recommend using DBD::ODBC - in particular because Windows drivers will almost always be ODBC drivers, meaning you only need to build DBD::ODBC and nothing else, which is fantastic when in Windows and compiling is a PITA :) Having said that, I've only ever used Sybase @ university, so I'm not sure of what options are around, other than that link above. I currently have Strawberry Perl with quite a few add-ons ( including DBD::ODBC ), and a build system of sorts, for my own use ( no-one else appears particularly interested at this point ). If you're really stuck, email me and I'll look at building things for you, but keep in mind, at this point, you'll get an all-on-one zip file, including my particular version of Strawberry, lots of other things, and Sybase drivers as well. This may or may not be fine. I'm open to coming up with a better solution ( ie the ability to build individual binary packages, but with *me* being the only person using what I've built, it hardly seems worthwhile.

Re: StrawberryPerl and the OpenSSL heartbleed bug
Suggestion - maybe you can pull the file that is being fetched (I assume
its pari217.exe) and install it locally once and for all? If the pari lib
is found locally, will the build bother to attempt to go out and get it? I
worry that someday, pari217.exe will disappear.

XML::Parser on Win 32 link problems?
Greetings. I am trying to install XML::Parser 2.41 using the Expat libs and headers from expat-win32bin-2.1.0.exe on a Windows 2008 R2 SP1 box. The link appears to work, but the load fails. Build output and perl -V below. Haven't seen too many people trying this on the 'net. Is there anything obvious I'm doing wrong? (Before anyone asks, ActiveState is a non-starter and Strawberry can't link to DBD::Sybase, so neither of those is a fallback option for me, ) Thanks.
