Re: DBI Module for Windows

[davorg]

The DBI module should work under Win32 without any problems. You can use the DBD::ODBC module to connect to Access databases. Both of these modules are available from ActiveState's module repository.

Another option would be the Win32::ODBC module, but that's guaranteed to be non-portable.

Just to add a small note: By using PPM (just type ppm at the commandprompt) you can install the DBI and DBD::ODBC modules from the modulerepository. Jouke Visser, Perl 'Adept'

Depending on how much of Win32::ODBC you use, it is not hard to write a small wrapper around DBI to make it look like Win32::ODBC. I did a workable one for myself in a couple of hours when I needed to cheaply port some scripts...
