You need Perl 5.8.1 at least for the latest version of DBI (1.611). You can see the platforms and versions tested at http://matrix.cpantesters.org/?dist=DBI+1.611. You need Perl 5.3 at least for the latest version of DBD::Oracle (1.24) - also see http://matrix.cpantesters.org/?dist=DBD-Oracle+1.24b If you are asking what version of DBI and DBD::Oracle you need for Perl 5.6.1 it is going to be a VERY old one. From the Changes file I see 5.6.1 became a requirement in DBI 1.49 released 29th November 2005 and 5.8.1 in DBI 1.607 22nd July 2008 so somewhere between those two. However, best of luck with that, especially if you need Unicode support. I'd seriously consider upgrading your Perl. Martin -- Martin J. Evans Easysoft Limited http://www.easysoft.com
