John, I see some new output during the running of Makefile.PL that you may have left in unintentionally: test test 2 test /home/martin/instantclient_11_1/ test 3 test 4 Error 6 initializing SQL*Plus also a few compilation issues: Oracle.xs:486: warning: format ‘%d’ expects type ‘int’, but argument 7 has type ‘boolean *’ All tests run successfully on my development system except: t/26exe_array.t (Wstat: 512 Tests: 17 Failed: 2) Failed tests: 11, 14 Non-zero exit status: 2 and these tests always fail for me. DRCP is not appropriate for our application so I've not tested that although I may look at it in the future. BTW, are you sure you need Oracle 11.2 and not just 11.1? (I see for 11.1.0.6 PHP refers to a patch you need to fix problems - http://php.net/manual/en/oci8.connection.php). Might be worth mentioning that once it is confirmed as it could be really annoying to start using DRCP and hit the sort of problems mentioned in the fix. You've left OCIPing in the Todo file although your Changes list says you've implemented it now. How is OCIPing used? There are some pod warnings: *** WARNING: No argument for =item at line 1914 in file Oracle.pm *** ERROR: unresolved internal link 'Prefetching Rows' at line 1901 in file Oracle.pm *** ERROR: unresolved internal link 'Prefetching Rows' at line 1906 in file Oracle.pm *** ERROR: unresolved internal link 'Prefetching Rows' at line 1911 in file Oracle.pm *** ERROR: unresolved internal link 'LOB Methods' at line 3619 in file Oracle.pm Perhaps the prefetching rows links want to be "Prefetching & Row Caching" or "Row Prefetching". The "=head2 Optimizing Oracle's listener" is not preceded by an empty line so pod2html loses the significance of the =head. The same is true of "=head1 CONNECTING TO ORACLE". You might want to fix this before uploading to CPAN. Thanks for all your hard work on DBD::Oracle. Martin -- Martin J. Evans Easysoft Limited http://www.easysoft.com
