DBIx::Perform char term-based DB utility / News: Recent posts

Very minor fix release. Lookup result fields now updated at once. New attribute keyword NOCOMPARE added for a handy hack.

Performulator 0.04 now up. Some warnings & bugs created by the addition of lookup fields in 0.03 fixed. Added-row readback implemented, so auto-filled fields (e.g. PO number) can be seen instantly. Edit interrupt is now Ctrl-C instead of DEL.

This adds subfields (partial column fields), lookup joins and a couple more control block operators.

This has been waiting to go out for half a year now, my bad. It has some control block functionality (e.g. AFTER EDIT OF field7 LET field8 = field7 + field6).

Tim Bunce has convinced the other interested person(s) in the CPAN Module Namespace group that the proper name is DBIx::Perform. The original downloads file is restored (was just hidden anyway) and the change to DBIx::Informix::Perform will become a branch on the CVS tree, which can be merged to the trunk if we ever need it.

DBIx::Informix::Perform has been added to the CPAN module taxonomy and the file DBIx-Informix-Perform-0.01.tar.gz will be available therein on or about 2 Apr. 2003.

A CPAN namespace-keeper has informed me that since the name is trademarked we'll need to modify it slightly to comply and/or give credit where it's due.

Therefore this module is being renamed DBIx::Informix::Perform as soon as I can get the "paperwork" for that done.
