Hi scoles,
i am already running DBD on all my old Oracle installations, upgrades
are not planned. Usually, i run DBD on the host where my Oracle is
installed, so no extra client is needed. For new oracle installations
(V10/V11) i will fetch a fresh DBD.
as to me, there is no more need to support Oracle V8/V9 in new DBD
releases. (Surely, the desupport will be outlined in the README...)
Thank you, Christian

I just want to get a general feeling of the community on weather the next
version of DBD::Oracle (1.22) should drop support for the
Oracle 8 and
Oracle 9 clients
I was just reviewing the code today and there are a large number of little
fixes here and there to make these two clients work with later versions of
DBD::Oracle.
With the upcoming demise of Oracle support of 9i we will see a good number
of already deprecated functions removed from later OCI (12 maybe?)
releases.
So I was thinking of cleaning up the code so that the next version 1.22
only supports 9.6 and later clients?
The second option is to make version 1.22 the last version that support
clients less that 9.6 (actually I think some of the early versions of the
8 client will die with 1.21 so it would be more of a bug fix in this case)
Speak up now or hold your peace.
Basically what I would like to know who uses what clients.
