OK - a customer (large enough to be a household name in the USA) is using Perl + DBI + DBD::Informix, and is wanting to build Perl with both DBI and DBD::Informix statically linked. I'm strongly discouraging this, but they have literally over ten thousand sites around the USA (they are a big household name), and are very cautious about changes to anything - not altogether unreasonably. Does anyone have any recent experience building Perl with static modules? Should I consider removing all references to them in the DBD::Informix documentation? -- Jonathan Leffler <[email protected]> #include <disclaimer.h> Guardian of DBD::Informix - v2008.0513 - http://dbi.perl.org "Blessed are we who can laugh at ourselves, for we shall never cease to be amused."
