Problems I had were fairly minor.
1. Warning: Aliases 'ORA_SYSDBA' and 'ORA_NUMBER' have identical values in
Oracle.xs, line 33
Don't know if this is really a problem or not, but it is bothersome to see.
2. dbdimp.c: In function `ora_st_FETCH_attrib':
dbdimp.c:2032: warning: passing arg 2 of `Perl_newRV_noinc' from incompatible
pointer type
On line 2032, pvhv just needs to be cast to SV*.
3. cursor.t, line 46: Not error checked before statement is used. Needs an
|| die.
4. cursor.t, line 46 again: The statement attemps to check v$parameter, which
by default is selectable only by sysdba-level login. I see that the selected
value is used by the rest of the tests, so it probably needs to be noted that
the tests need to be run using a sysdba login (and ora_session_mode needs
to be forced appropriately).
5. t/ph_type....NOK 13expected 'trailing' but got 'trailing ' for VARCHAR2
t/ph_type....FAILED test 13
Failed 1/53 tests, 98.11% okay
This seems to be an Oracle 9.2 issue, as 1.12 fails this test as well against
9.2.0.2 on Linux. It would appear to be an Oracle bug, because the OCI
documentation still states that trailing space should be stripped. I've been
up and down Metalink for an answer, I'm probably going to open a TAR just to
get a definitive word on what the deal is here.

Can you actually build an OCI7-only app against the v9 libs? If so I could try
to debug this.
