Re: Réf. : Re: compile dbi in aix with gcc

Anecdotally  we have used DBI versions 1.5.1 on AIX 5.3 with perl 5.8.8 
and DBI 1.6.1.5 on AIX 6.1 with perl 5.12.2. All were (read: had to be) 
compiled with gcc so I know its possible. We're also using DBD::Oracle and 
DBD::Mysql as well with both of those combinations successfully. Its 
usually a pain to get things to compile cleanly on AIX.

I took a look at CPAN testers and I'll see if its possible for me and my 
servers to join and send in some AIX reports. No promises though.

Thanks.

The last test report for the DBI on AIX was from version 1.609
over a year ago:
http://matrix.cpantesters.org/?dist=DBI%201.616;maxver=1

I would *strongly urge* anyone using less common platforms, including AIX,
to join http://www.cpantesters.org/ and contribute test reports.

See http://wiki.cpantesters.org/wiki/GettingStarted
