Re: DBD::Informix

You may need to get an extra compilation flag, -ldl, added to the link
line, though it is a little surprising to find that's necessary.  That
might solve dlopen, dlclose, dlerror, dlsym.  Missing crypt is more
puzzling; maybe there's a library -lcrypt or something that's needed.  It
is very odd, though; those are not normally a problem.

The Perl configuration shows -ldl and -lcrypt are used.

The debug output does not show a linking operation, but it is a linking
operation which is failing, which is very puzzling.  I'll see what I can do
to reproduce it.
