What is Oraperl?
Hmmm.what is Perl?
PERL is Pattern Extraction and Report Language.It is a language which
has the capabilities of Shell,C,grep,sed and awk.So it is pretty handy
for system administration.
Perl was written by Larry Wall and is availble at almost all GNU archives.
Oraperl is a version of Perl whcich has been extended to manipulate
Oracle databases.
There is also something called Coraperl which is Oraperl with Curses.
There is also sybperl which is Perl for sysbase.
Oraperl is free ware.So it is free:-).
Perl is available on almost all variants of Unix.I don't know if it is
the same with oraperl.
Before even thinking of oraperl get Perl.Post to comp.lang.perl .If u r
lucky u might get binaries for them.
One needs the following to build oraperl.A C compiler,Perl and Oracle
OCI(Oracle call Interface).
Ftp site for oraperl:wuarchive.wustl.edu
Path: /usenet/comp.sources.misc/volume3[0-3]/oraperl-v2/*
Note that there is no official support for Oraperl.U have to rely on the goodwill of the USENET to solve ur problems. Hope this helps.
