Here is the list of changes and you can use the cpan download page to get the package.
The major change is that perl driver can use the Firebird embedded mode so it doesn’t need a full Firebird

#Perl DBD::Firebird driver : Fork in progress for DBD::InterBase driver

August 26, 2010 mariuz 4 comments

Seems there are a lot of bugs and patches accumulating in the DBD::InterBase driver and the community already forked the code on github with many patches and fixes applied to the main code

I will create a renamed driver with the name DBD::Firebird in cpan from the above fork and i will apply all the patches and fix the bugs that were not fixed
