That's for DBD::Oracle only. > We need in writing, your approval that we may distribute these modules on > our product CD. Thank you for asking. Yes, you have my permission. Let me know if you need it on paper and I'll send you my postal address for you to send the paperwork to. All I ask in return is a _token_ gift. It can be _anything_ at all. Ideally something that reflects the value you feel you've gained from using/offering DBD::Oracle, whatever that may be. Tim.
