in thread Disappointed with latest Strawberry Perl

Not in Strawberry environment. I do have it in Cygwin, and just copying the relevant files from Cygwin to Strawberry was not a succes. That is why I asked before trying to build it from scratch.

On Win2k I use Opera or FF

    My expectation is that the "Berkeley DB 4.6.21.msi Windows installer" at the oracle website would give you a windows version of the db library that you can use with Strawberry. Even if the library it provides was built using Visual Studio, MinGW will still be able to link to it - so, as long as that msi does, in fact, give you a db library for windows, you should be right (unless that library turns out to be crippled in some siginificant aspect).

      I would expect that to

      • Not include the required -devel part (include files)
      • Install in a location unsuited for Strawberry.

      I'll try to play with an install from scratch

        That would be a problem.

        That would not be a problem - we can easily hack our way around that.
