Thank you

I forgot to report back here but in the mean time I was given the following patch to DBD::ODBC which I know was also applied to a few other DBDs:

package MY;

use strict;
use Config;

sub constants {
    my $self = shift;
    require DBI::DBD;

    # The problem with stawberry perl is it sets INC on the command li
+ne
    # and that overrides INC in this Makefile unless we set it here.
    my $old_constants = $self->SUPER::constants();
    my $new_constants;
    foreach my $line ( split(/\n/, $old_constants) ) {
        if ( $line =~ /^INC = .*strawberry.*/ ) {
            print qq(Strawberry Perl found; adjusting the INC variable
+;\n);
            $line = $line . q( -I) .  DBI::DBD::dbd_dbi_arch_dir();
            print qq(INC is now $line\n);
        }
        $new_constants .= $line . qq(\n);
    }
    return $new_constants;
}

Could you tell me in what version of strawberry perl I will be able to remove the above?
