This module is extraordinary Andreas - thank you so much for sharing it
with us. I would recommend that you set up a PAUSE id for yourself by
following the instructions at:
Follow the instructions and links on
http://www.cpan.org/modules/04pause.html
or upload to:
ftp://pause.kbx.de/incoming
and notify [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
it is really easy using the PAUSE web interface. You might also
want to send a mention of the DBD::RDB package name to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I suspect that there may be some possibility of conflict using a generic
"RDB" name (if there is then let us know and we'll help you fight for
keeping the DBD::RDB since your module is truly entitled to it).
It would appear that the module is currently limited to VMS since I see
this in the postamble in the Makefile.PL:
.sqlmod.obj :
mc sql\$mod \$(mms\$source) /c_proto/connect/warn=nodeprecate
does anyone have an Rdb installation on Windows or Tru64 unix and could
translate that? It should be a very simple thing to modify the
Makefile.PL output based on $^O value.

P.S. Dan can you place a copy of the dbd_rdb.zip file at your web/ftp site
for the time being?
