Can I use Win32::ODBC on Linux? No. Makefile.PL: `unless ($^O eq "MSWin32" \|\| $^O eq "cygwin") { die "OS unsupported\n"; }` [download] ODBC.xs: `#include <windows.h>` [download] But you can use UnixODBC and DBD::ODBC. Unless you have a reason to go low level, you're better off going with DBI (and thus DBD::ODBC) even if you could use Win32::ODBC.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

I just took a look on Makefile.PL and it looks like no, you can't use it on Linux. Maybe DBD::ODBC is what you looking for.	[reply]
