The DBI interface to perl 5 is at 0.9 and an Oracle version is available. DBI spec and Oracle code from ftp://ftp.demon.co.uk or ftp://ftp.bf.rmit.edu.au/pub/perl/db.

However, for NT, oraperl 2.4/4.036/7.x is available on the FAQ archives somewhere under ftp://ftp.bf.rmit.edu.au/pub/Oracle/ that was contributed by Scott Stephens of Oracle US.

I expect to receive an NT version of Oracle DBI-perl-5 soon, and will place it in the archives.
