in reply to Camelbox: A build of Gtk2-Perl for Windows

Great Job! ++

But I have a point on my wishlist. Could you include some DBD drivers (mysql, postgres, maybe oracle)? Because they are generally a pain to install compile on windows.

    The latest release (July 31st 2008) now has DBD::[mysql|SQLite|ODBC]. PostgreSQL will be included shortly, I have the packages compiled, I just need to include them in the installer. See the links at the top of the page for download URL's and docs and whatnot.
      Oh great! Now let's talk about Catalyst.... ;-)

    I tried to get DBD::mysql going yesterday (14Apr2008 PST8PDT), it didn't compile, so it will take some time to figure/work out.

    My priority at the moment is to fix things in the installer (checksums, HTTP downloads not working right, automate installer building more), and then I can add the neat things like DBI/DBD::* and friends. I post regularly on the gtk-perl mailing list as well as the mailing list for my project, Camelbox. You can watch in either place for me to post updates as I get things working.
