Hi, I just upgraded my perl to 5.26.2, DBIx::Class 0.82.841
My DBIx::Class code using an Oracle database then failed because it was making SQL where instead of a table alias, e.g. "display_status", was inserting the string "_SHORTEN_IDENTIFIER DISPLAY_STATUS". The "_shorten_identifer" method is in DBIx::Class::SQLMaker::Oracle. It appears that this BEGIN block: BEGIN { use DBIx::Class::Optional::Dependencies; die('The following extra modules are required for Oracle-based Storages ' . DBIx::Class::Optional::Dependencies->req_missing_for ('id_shortener') . "\n" ) unless DBIx::Class::Optional::Dependencies->req_ok_for ('id_shortener'); } at the top of DBIx::Class::SQLMaker::Oracle was not fatal. One of the dependencies for "id_shortener" is Math::Base36, which I didn't have installed. I guess something is trapping the die. I don't understand where the capitalised method + argument string is coming from! Having got this far I wasn't inclined to dig further into the magic guts of DBIx::Class.
