#Perl DBD::Firebird fork progress
DBD::Firebird is registered in perl cpan’s module list and soon we will upload the first tar.gz release (when is considered stable enough)
Until then the module is hosted in github and can be used and tested :
Stefan has improved the Windows support also fixed many tests , here are some of the commit messages:
Improved support for MinGW, added support for ActivePerl, Removed some obsolete tests, All tests, now use testlib.pl and Test::More (except 60leaks.t)
You are using “open my $t_fh, ‘>’, $test_conf” in Makefile.PL, this line requires Perl 5.6. Considering that Perl 5.6 was released almost 11 years ago, I’d suggest just require 5.6.
Thanks pushed the minimum required version
