HERE it is! For all of you folk who have a need to bang up against databases
via ODBC on the win32 platform, here is an extension that will do it.

This extension is based on Dan DeMaggio's Fun_With_Perl.zip and provides
new/improved functionality than either his or IODBC.EXE.

Some of the features:
 - The number of ODBC connections are limited only by memory and ODBC itself
   (have as many as you want!)
 - The working limit to the size of a field is 10240 bytes but you can
   increase that limit (if needed) to a max of 102400. You can always
   recompile to increase the max limit.
 - You can open a connection by either specifing a DSN or a connection
   string!
 - You can open and close the connections in any order!
 - Catalog functions!!
       -Drivers list.
       -Data Source list.
       -Table/Query list.
 - Other things that I can not think of right now.... :)

It has been uploaded and verified on CPAN or you can grab it from
       ftp://ftp.infowire.com/pub/ntperl/NTodbc_v0.5.zip


This has been tested on WinNT 3.51 ussp3 only. Read the README.TXT file
first!!!!!!
Cheers,
dave
