Is anybody working on a perl 5.003 vesion? Inquiring minds want to know! I have had some experience with database access using the new, modular approach in perl 5. It was most surprisingly easy to change a major CGI DB application over from sybperl to oraperl. Essentially the only changes necessary were to use the oracle perl module and to change a few syntaxes. Thanks, Please email me as well as post here.
