I am trying to install DBD-Oracle-1.16 along with DBI-1.46
DBI was installed successfully, but got errors intalling the

John,
Two things.
Firstly, you cross-posted this message to two mailing lists, one of
which has no interest in this problem.  This is bad netiquette.
Secondly, you have failed to check the mailing list archives to see if
this problem has come up before.  You are the third person to ask a
question like this in the dbi-users list this week.
Please, check the dbi-users mailing list archives, and try to be more
careful with the recipient lists on e-mails you send.

RFC: DFA::StateMachine

[David E . Wheeler]

Hi All,
Ovid and I were getting fed up with the horrible DFA::Simple module, so  
I wrote a new module, DFA::StateMachine, to take its place in our work.  
But I'm no computer scientist, so I'm not even sure whether the name is  
right or if the module functions the way a DFA state machine is  
supposed to behave. So I would greatly appreciate feedback on it. You  
can grab it from here:

StateMachine-0.01.tar.gz

Thanks!
David
