[Dbi-interbase-devel] Perl 5.8.0 build failure ?

[DeeOnFusijamail <de...@cl...>]

DBD-Interbase-0.3 seems to fail to build under perl 5.8.0/DBD 1.3.0/Win2K -
It seems to have something to do with the new perlio interface according to
the build logs.
Not being an expert on either Perlio internals or building DBI extensions it
is a bit difficult for me to hack my way through, so I throught I'd just
post the observation without a cure.
Note also the largish number of warnings - many of these are also valid when
compiling under 5.6.0(ActiveState build 623), but aren't seen by default
since this build does not enable the -W3 warning switch of MS Visual C.
Some of them are pretty grim: Use of functions without including a prototype
etc.
