do you mean oraperl - the old perl4 extension which is now unsupported ans a pain in the butt.

or Oraperl.pm "use Oraperl;" - a oraperl emulation interface to the DBI/DBD::Oracle code.

There is a cost in migrating from oraperl to Oraperl, but I should point out that most oraperl's in existence still use V6 oci calls which are deprecated and may be removed from the Oracle OCI interface sometime in the future...

You can put off an oraperl -> perl5 Oraperl.pm migration but I would move to it sooner thanm later. Anyway Oraperl is more more "fun to be with" that the perl4 stuff.

see http://www.hermitica.com/ - I think that is correct :-)

also see the porting archive at ftp://ftp.demon.co.uk/pud/perl/db

Again, thanks to demon internet for the ftp space...
