REQUIREMENTS:
- Perl (version 5.8.1 or higher)
- Perl DBI (1.41 or higher)
- Firebird (2.5.1 or higher)
- A C compiler
* UN*X
GCC 4.x (tested, older may or may not work) or other capable
clang
* Windows
- Strawberry perl (http://strawberryperl.com/) comes with it's own compiler (mingw)
- Visual Studio C++ (http://visualstudio.com)

- Threaded perl is required (You have to re-install perl from ports and you have to select the config
option that says 'build a perl with threads')
*BEFORE* BUILDING, TESTING AND INSTALLING this you will need to:
- Build, test and install Perl 5 (at least 5.8.1).
- Build, test and install the DBI module (at least DBI 1.41).
On Debian/Ubuntu you can do a simple:
sudo apt-get install firebird2.5-dev libdbi-perl
On OpenSUSE:
sudo zypper in firebird firebird-devel perl-DBI
On Fedora, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, CentOS and derivates:
sudo yum install firebird firebird-devel perl-DBI
- Remember to *read* the DBI README file if you installed it from source
- Make sure that Firebird server is running (for testing telnet localhost 3050)
sudo service firebird start
BUILDING:
Win32/Win64 with Strawberry
type 'dmake' from the console
Win32/Win64 with MS compiler:
type 'nmake', not just 'make'
To Configure and build the DBD:
perl Makefile.PL
make
TESTING
To run tests module Test::Exception is required on Debian/Ubuntu systems:
sudo apt-get install libtest-exception-perl
Please, set at least DBI_PASS (or ISC_PASSWORD), before 'make test'.
