README for Class::DBI::Loader::Informix Introduction =========== This package provides a Class::DBI::Loader implementation and a Class::DBI sub class that will enable these modules to work nicely with the Informix database management system. Prerequisites ============= This module requires Class::DBI, Class::DBI::Loader and DBD::Informix (and all of their prerequisites) to operate. It has been tested with the versions specified in the Makefile.PL. Installation ============ Install the module by executing the following in the directory where you have unpacked the module distribution: perl Makefile.PL make make test make install You may need to use a different program than make on various different OS. You will need to run the last step as a user with sufficient permissions to create files in the Perl library directories - if you require the module to be installed in an alternative location then you should run the first step as: perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/my/library/directory You will need to then specify the appropriate location with : use lib '/my/library/directory'; BUGS ==== This has only tested with IDS 9.40.UC2E1 and 10.UC5 and could well be using specific features of those databases. If reporting a bug please specify the server version that use are using. SUPPORT ======= All bug reports and patches should be made via RT at: bug-Class-DBI-Loader-Informix@rt.cpan.org That way I'm less likely to ignore them.
