Hi,
I am looking to install the Win32 DB2.pm library for perl 5.8.7 or 5.8.8.
The previously recommended site of
http://ftp.esoftmatic.com/DBI/ no longer seems to contain the necessary
ppds.
Can someone recommend another location?
thanks
andrei

Since you are in windows you might want to just to use Activeperl and ppm to
get the latest version which I think is
' DBD-DB2 [0.76] DBD-DB2'

This is a nice thought, but the latest release of DBD::DB2 is actually
0.78 (released a long time ago), but ActiveState wasn't interested in
updating their version of the package because DBD::DB2 prereqs the DB2
Runtime Client.
Apparently ActiveState has made it a policy to avoid offering packages
which are not entirely self-contained (because they don't want to be
inundated with support calls complaining about a problem due to a
missing third-party library). So until IBM can figure out how to avoid
the dependency on the DB2 Runtime Client, ActiveState is apparently
going to continue to offer a decrepit version of DBD::DB2.
The last time esoftmatic.com disappeared from the Web was due to some
DNS problems; more than likely this problem will clear up in a day or
two.
