I have just released version 2.0 of Sybperl, the Sybase OpenClient
extensions to Perl. It has been posted to CPAN (the Comprehensive Perl
Archive Network) today. For a list of CPAN sites and URLs see the end
of this article. This version is available from

       "CPAN"/authors/id/MEWP/sybperl-2.0.tar.gz

where "CPAN" is one of the URLs listed at the end of this article.


Here is the 2.0 README:

      Sybperl 2.0, the Sybase OpenClient extensions for Perl 5
      --------------------------------------------------------

Finally, after six months of Beta, here it is: sybperl 2.0 for Perl 5.

This release includes the Sybase::DBlib and Sybase::Sybperl modules as
full production releases, and the Sybase::CTlib module which I still
keep in 'beta', as its development and testing is not quite over yet.

Improvements over previous 2b versions:

   - Improved documentation (probably still not perfect, though :-)
   - Improved build & installation instructions.
   - Static loading is much easier to implement (build & test)
   - Sybase::CTlib includes native handling of DATETIME, MONEY and
     NUMERIC/DECIMAL datatypes. This is done transparently, using
     operator overloading.

Do you need to upgrade?

  - If you have 2b3, and you are using the DBlib &/or Sybperl
    modules, then you do not *need* this new version (DBlib has not
    changed since 2b3).

  - If you are not ready to install Perl 5, then this version is
    (obviously) not for you.

  - If you are interested in the new Sybase::CTlib module, or if you
    had problems installing a previous version (in particular with
    regards to static loading) then I recommend that you get this new
    version.

As usual, comments, critics and bug reports are welcome :-)
