Hi John, How do you handle all this HP and Sun work that I've been reading on the dbi-dev group and other places??? I do see notations on CSPAN for HP all over the place.
The most interesting thing in your email is that Oracle requires 1.51 or later. When I go on Metalink, Oracle has stated that it will not do anything if you take it from a place like CPAN. It has to come from them and you have to use their internal perl. Any suggestions on how the HP and Sun community is suppose to cope with this state of affairs is greatly appreciated.
