Hi, I just wanted to know what is the compatible version of DBI and Oracle DBD for perl, v5.6.1? It would be great if you can provide me with the information as soon as possible since it's very urgent. Thanks a lot for your time! Regards, Subhasis.

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

Martin I would second Martin's idea to upgrade your perl, Baring that the latest version of DBD::Oracle 1.24 the requirement is perl 5.6 and DBI 1.51 (DBI 1.51 however will warn you to upgrade to perl 5.8) That will most likely change in 1.25 to be 1.61 DBI and perl 5.8 Cheers John Scoles
