The general rule is you need the same compiler that was used to compile the
Perl you're using. For ActiveState, that's Microsoft Visual C++. Other than
that, there's not much in the way of prerequisites. This mail reminded me to
upgrade to 1.48 on this machine, and all I needed to do was open a Visual
Studio .NET command prompt (i.e. just the shortcut to a normal command
prompt but it runs vcvars32.bat) and run "cpan DBI" which fetches, compiles
and installs it.

Can't say I've ever thought about having question marks in field names
other than with a sense of horror ;-) but shouldn't that be down to the DBD
and database's native quoted-identifier syntax (i.e. double quotes as
standard, or backticks on MySQL, and doesn't Access use square brackets?)
rather than up in the DBI level?
