Hi Sebastian,

You may want to take a look at VORTEXperl from Trifox. It will allow you to access an Oracle server (Unix, Windows NT, OS/2 and MVS) from Linux! It uses Perl Sockets so there is no need to re-build the Perl runtime.

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