Hi,
the DBI-1.43 changelog states:
Changed getting or setting an invalid attribute to no longer be
a fatal error but generate a warning instead.
while in DBI.pm pod still remains:
Attempting to set or get the value of an unknown attribute is fatal,
except for private driver specific attributes (which all have names
starting with a lowercase letter).
But the worst is that this change breaks the tests for DBD::Oracle:
> make test
