  Sorry for my english.

  We use Perl 5.00503 in a Sun Solaris 2.6 machine. We have too an informix
7.20 database.

  Our programmers tell us that when make a insert or update in a database
only can send 255 chars for string. If they make an insert with more text
than 255 chars this is truncate. We don't know if this is a bug, a
limitation of perl or a misconfiguration. If there is some parameter to
configure this max_lenght limit in a strings, please tell us.

Thanks for your help,

Jordi Rossell.

(Just reviewing old Perl bug reports).

The 255 character limit is almost certianly a limit in the database on
the particular column being inserted, and not a bug in Perl.

So I'm closing the call.
