[Dxspider-support] IMPORTANT: notice of important change(s)

I think I have finally got sick and tired of DB_File and its 
unreliability, not to mention periods of non-availability of packages on 
Activestate. I intend to use sqlite3 as the base ISAM engine instead. 
Note that I did not use the database word there...

Mentioning Activestate, I also investigating whether to recommend a 
change of M$ perl to http://strawberryperl.com/. It seems that this 
version of perl for M$ is more up to date and better supported with CPAN 
packages. Larry Wall uses it, so that must be some kind of recommendation...

This doesn't mean that it will not work on Activestate, or even that I 
won't support it - but may mean that my stock answer might be: "have you 
tried it on Strawberry Perl".

Feel free to argue or even agree...
