Dear Matt,

Thanks for the complete follow-up.

I wonder if the significance is that you created DBI (and it happened to be
1.48), rather than that DBD::Informix 2005.02 does not work with DBI 1.46?

That is, if you downloaded DBI 1.46 and built it, would DBD::Informix still
work? I don't know - and you don't have to spend the time finding out if you
don't want to -- it is idle curiosity on my part. However, if you can
demonstrate that DBD::Informix 2005.02 has problems with DBI 1.46, I'll have
to do some checking on other platforms...
