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?
