Has anyone attempted this yet, or should I give it a go?
Might be best to wait till the next release as patches against old releases (which 1.12 now is, even though it is the latest) get less useful as the number of changes I have made or have pending locally increases - and I have a large pile of them. I hope to make a DBI release next week and then, finally, resume work on DBD::Oracle. Tim.
