We tested Firebird perl extension and now it works with Strawberry perl (almost all the test do pass when installing the extension ) here are the steps described:

also the movie (ogv) (right click on link and save as)

Step 1 :Install firebird 2.5 run setup->next-next-next

Step 2 :Install strawberry perl

Step 3: Install flamerobin

Step 4: Download git snapshot of dbd firebird (choose the download button you can install GIT to clone dbd firebird if you want)

Step 5:compile extension

cd c:\mariuz-perl-dbd-interbase-*

(or where you downloaded the tar)

perl Makefile.PL

choose a good test db name like test

or c:\strawberry.fdb

dmake dmake install

Step 6 (optional): you can do the tests

create the db with flamerobin in

c:\strawberry.fdb

dmake test

Almost all test must pass (7 from 33 mostly)

That is all
