When Kevin left Encore he posted the 'final' patch (patch 4) to to comp.sources.misc.

Oraperl and the patches are available from ftp.demon.co.uk:/pub/perl/db/oraperl

Kevin, myself and about 25 others have been working since last October on the specification of a new database independent API for perl called DBperl. DBperl will eventually replace oraperl, ingperl, sybperl etc etc.

I'm hoping to release the first two section of the current draft API to comp.lang.perl and comp.databases.* sometime this week. This is to encourage some feedback and get more people to join in the specification work. Archives of our perldb-interest mailing list are in ftp.demon.co.uk:/pub/perl/db/dbperl.

We need more contributors and reviewers. If you are an oraperl user you should have an interest in its replacement - DBperl. To join the perldb-interest mailing list send your request to perldb-interest_at_vix.com.
