What is a lot ??
Most of the DBA and operations stuff that my production systems
use is in perl (actually curseperl and coraperl). It has survived
porting over several hardware platforms and operating systems fairly
well. (My alternate was to use C. It took some work to move
what I thought was portable C at the same time.)
My only concern would be the databse interface. If OCI remains through version 7, then I think you should be OK.
Besides, if your place is like mine nothing ever stays EXACTLY the same for very long. It is nice to quickly make a lot of changes.
