in thread Which Module for Win32 Shell

I suppose I should have specified that this needs to be as vanilla win32 as possible. Once i've finished the tool i'd like to be able to package it as an executable for distribution among my colleagues. Not all of them have Perl, Cygwin or anything else that may make their lives easier....nore are they the types to install these things.

I was thinking I could use a seperate DBI object for each ODBC connection and select each connection based on the string passed from the user. That makes sense doesn't it?

    If you are interested in a traditional unix type shell, the GnuWin32 project provides windows installers for traditional unix command line tools.

    Another option for unixy-goodness on Win32 is MinGW.

    Zoid, mentioned below, looks like it might be a promising starting point for you, too.
