perl dbi module in depot form?

Doug O'Leary — Mon, 18 Dec 2006 10:16:59 GMT

Hey;

Anyone know where I might get a precompiled instance of the perl dbi module for 11.23?

Appreciate any info.

Thanks.

Doug

Hi Doug:

Merijn includes DBI in his Perl distributions:

Hi Doug,
please have a look at Merijn' Page:
http://mirrors.develooper.com/hpux/

His builds include DBI module !

No, there is not. Only if it is part of a bigger perl distribution. Not on itself.

Why do you want it on it's own?

Main reason for not having depot's, is that the DBI is XS code (which is probably why you want a depot), and thus should be build for a specific perl, and $PERL5LIB

My depots, as RJ mentioned, all include the most recent DBI at the moment of build.

Hey

>>Why do you want it on it's own?

Politics. If I were able to simply add the dbi module, I wouldn't have to update/upgrade the perl installation which means I could go through a shorter change control process. As it stands, assuming this gets done, I'm going to have every developer and their 6000 relatives asking me to swear on my first born's life that the upgrade won't break their code...

Thanks for the link. I'll more than likely be hitting it shortly.

Hey, Merjin;

We tried installing the 5.8.7 versoin, release 31-05-2005 for an 11.11 system, but it's complaining about us not having a c compiler. It's right; we don't have one. Is there something simple we're missing? I was under the impression we woulnd't need a compiler for your depots...

Thanks for any info.

Doug

You shouldn't indeed.
What is the exact problem?
64bit or 32bit?

FWIW If you want to compile/build DBI from the source, you *do* need a (matching) C compiler, regardless of what perl build you use.

Hi;

Thanks for the response:

>>What is the exact problem?

That's the $64,000 question. I was working with the client remotely so I'm not 100% sure what happened. Strangely enough it all started working suddenly. The admin in question said tha the tried it again... uh-huh. Maybe with the right download this time.... Who knows?

Anyway; I appreciate your willingness to help out and for the depots with the dbi compiled in.

Depots worked as described. Thanks for the links.
