As 5.13.x comes closer to being 5.14 this issue is becoming more urgent. John, I've asked s...@perl.org to give commit access for the dbd-orcle repro to Martin so he can work on this for you. I'd appreciate it if you could work on a release as soon as he's done. Thanks! Michael, will you be able to make a fixed release of DBD::Sybase soonish? The work required is pretty trivial. It's mostly just adding a "PL_" prefix to instances of the sv_undef, sv_yes, and sv_no variables. For both of you I suggest testing with an actual recent build of 5.13.x (rather than fiddle around with the special 1.613_71 DBI build).
