New release of Oraperl, Oracle usersubs for Perl

Version 2 of Oraperl, a set of usersubs for Perl which allows it to access Oracle databases, has been posted to comp.sources.misc. You need Perl and the Oracle Pro*C package in order to build it. It is also possible to build Coraperl, a version of Oraperl which also includes the Curses functions.

The main changes from version 1, patchlevel 5 are:

	improved debugging trace
	fetch row caching (increases speed by typically 15%, up to 25%)
	'test' and 'install' targets in the Makefile
	various new support functions and bug fixes

Oraperl is copyright, but may be distributed under the same terms as Perl itself.
