I'm chomping at the bit for both, : but can't justify the time or money to help with this endeavor. : It would be nice if Informix would build this interface : out of net-generosity. <hint hint> Actually, to the best of my knowldge, oracle in now way supports the oraperl developments. There is also no movement to move oraperl to a perl5 platform (it runs fine under perl 4), but there is a Standard DBI interface being developed to allow any database access to perl. There has been talk in the very recent past about moving that to use the new ODBC standards. But then again, this is still in a big development cycle. It would be nice if some of the database companies started to take perl seriously! just my .02c. d -- Darrell Cavens dcavens@ingenia.com Ingenia Communications Corporation
