Hi Axel,

I' ve recently downloaded DBD::ODBC from CPAN. The distribution 
contains .xs and .h files. This normally indicates that the module 
has to be ported to or at least compiled for the Mac (see 
<http://pudge.net/macperl/macperlmodinstall.html>). Because it can't 
be found on http://pudge.net/mmp/, we are out of luck, I guess (until 
someone does the port, of course).


Tschüß
