Oracle.pm built against 8 works great with Oracle 8 when doing an

Each version of Oracle uses a different mechanism to do an 'external
connect' and they seem to have opted for NO backward compatibility in
this regard.

How a bout going low and sneaky, and providing a username and password with appropriate privs for one or the other hardcoded into the app?
