NAME

Bundle::DBD::Informix - A bundle to install all DBD::Informix related modules

SYNOPSIS

perl -MCPAN -e 'install Bundle::DBD::Informix'

CONTENTS

Digest::MD5 - Perl interface to the MD5 Algorithm by GAAS (Gisle Aas)

Time::HiRes - High Resolution Timing by DEWEG (Douglas Wegscheid)

Bundle::DBI - Bundle for DBI by TIMB (Tim Bunce)

DBD::Informix - DBD::Informix by JOHNL (Jonathan Leffler)

DESCRIPTION

This bundle includes all the modules used by the Perl Database Interface (DBI) driver for Informix (DBD::Informix), assuming the use of DBI version 1.02 or later, created by Tim Bunce.

If you've not previously used the CPAN module to install any bundles, you will be interrogated during its setup phase. But when you've done it once, it remembers what you told it. You could start by running:

    C<perl -MCPAN -e 'install Bundle::CPAN'>
    C<perl -MCPAN -e 'install Bundle::libnet'>
    C<perl -MCPAN -e 'install Bundle::LWP'>

Note that DBD::Informix does not directly use Digest::MD5. However, when Informix takes over support for DBD::Informix, then you may be required to demonstrate that the MD5 checksums of the code you've got match the original, or you'll be required to provide the diffs between the original and what you are using. The shell script md5.verify and Perl script md5.check will be used to do this.

DBD::Informix uses the Time::HiRes module for timing insert cursors.

This bundle was created by ripping off Bundle::libnet created by Graham Barr <gbarr@ti.com>, and radically simplified with some information from Jochen Wiedmann <joe@ispsoft.de>.
