No need for them to be pre-built. Get them from CPAN. Have a look at the DBI
mail list archives or these mail archives for any further information.
There'll also probably be a new patch on DBD:ODBC in the next few days.

RE: Perl modules

[Timothy C. Phan]

Hi Neil,

  Thank for the info.  I did built the DBI and it compiled ok with
  a lot of warning.  I think it also fail a few case of test.

  I also build the DBD::Mysql. This however require a copied of
  the libmysqlclient.a which I also have to build from the
  Mysql distribution.  The original Mysql .dll from it windows/nt
  distribution did not work under the Cygwin environment.

  I just tried out the Cygwin Perl and want to compare it with
  ActiveState Perl.  Has there been any comparison between the
  two?  ActiveState Perl has a very good Perl Package Management
  utility. Thus, this prompted me to ask this group to see if
  such thing existed in Cygwin Perl :)

  BTW, how do I get on the cygwin perl dbi mailing list?

  Thanks!

Cygwin Perl and Module Math::BigInt

[T.Phan]

Hi, 

  I tried to 'make test' on the the Convert:ASN1 and it kept fail at
  place where the Math::BigInt always returns NaN.

  I cut out the segment below and ran it and sure enough, it return
  NaN in Cygwin Perl.  However, the same script return a number in
  ActiveState Perl:

#--------------------------
use strict;
use Math::BigInt;

my $num = Math::BigInt->new(-1 * (1<<24) * (1<<24));

print "$num\n";

exit;



#----- Cygwin perl returns:  NaN

#----- ActiveState perl returns :  -281474976710656



  Any idea how to fix this in Cygwin?  Thank in advance!

Perl modules

[Timothy C. Phan]

Hi,

  Is there any pre-build perl modules for the perl in 
  Cygwin?  Particularly DBD::Mysql, DBD::ODBC.

  THanks!
