# DBD::Informix::Configure(3pm)

DBD::Informix::Configure - Determining your ESQL/C Configuration use DBD::Informix::Configure; This module is used by IBM Informix Database Driver for Perl DBI Version 2008.0513 (2008-05-13) in the build and bug reporting code. You will seldom if ever have cause to use this module directly.\
 **Using find\_informixdir\_and\_esql** The function find\_informixdir\_and\_esql returns both the value of `$INFORMIXDIR` and the pathname of the ESQL/C compiler executable (a script on Unix, an executable program on Windows NT). The parameter should be true if the search is being done on Windows NT; it is false if it is being done on a Unix system.

```
        my ($ixd, $esql) = find_informix_dir_and_esql($nt);
```

**Using get\_esqlc\_version** Given the pathname of the ESQL/C compiler, this function returns the ESQL/C version number as a string (such as 9.21.UC1) and as a pure integer (such as 921).

```
        my ($infversion, $vernum) = &get_esqlc_version($esqlprog);
```
