Brutha has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
Does anybody had success running DBD::DB2 under Windows and ActiveState Perl 5.12?
We are still on 5.8 but if You want to use Moose you need a more up to date version of Perl.
First I tried to find a PPM package at the usual suspects, ActiveState, Trouchelle, Bribes, uwinnipeg with no success.
Next I tried CPAN install and manual download of DBD::DB2 vesions 1.79 and 1.80a and both have no success.
nmake seems okay with a lot of warnings. The first test tells me that my vendor has not defined SQL_PARAM_INPUT_OUTPUT. I looked into the source and can see no reason why that constant should not be defined.
DB2 is version DB2 v8.1.7.445.
Perl 5.8 has a PPM package. As DB2 access is a "must have" I have to stay with 5.8
Did anybode have success with DB2 for Perl 5.12?
And it came to pass that in time the Great God Om spake unto Brutha, the Chosen One: "Psst!"
