Hi Darrel,

You may want to check out VORTEXperl from Trifox.

VORTEXperl talks to multiple RDBMS and supports Oracle on multiple platforms. It uses Perl Sockets so there is no need to re-build the Perl runtime. With VORTEXperl you can access an Oracle 7 Server running on Solaris 2.5 from a Perl program running on Linux.

You can obtain an evaluation copy of VORTEXperl from our WEB site at http://www.trifox.com/

Hope this Helps
