Re: DBD::Oracle v1.39_00 is out
A new DBD::Oracle trial version is out and on its way to CPAN. It's a maintenance release with fairly minor bug fixes (full changelog below). As usual, the trial version will be soaked for 2 weeks and, pending issues, will be promoted to v1.40 for general consumption.

Personally I really really hate this change
App::Ack was the first I noted to make this horrid change and I always
revert the shebang line to reflect my production perl
I (very) often work on other perls than the one that is installed and
to make testing these with modules (like DBI, DBD::Oracle and many many
more, I temporary change my $PATH to have the perl I am testing first
In that perl, App::Ack is NOT (yet) installed.
For some/many scripts, it doesn't really matter if the script is
installed or not, but for all scripts that invoke modules it *does*
matter.
I certainly do NOT see this change as more modern
Perl has been configured to use $Config{startperl}. Use it!
$ perl -V:startperl
startperl='#!/pro/bin/perl';
