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.
