Thanks.  That's what I'll do (5.8.8).  I really appreciate all the work
that goes into this.  By the way, oddly, PPM says that there is a
DBD-ODBC module but then fails with a "file not found" when you try to
install it.  That's different from DBD-Oracle, which simply isn't there.
Perhaps DBD-ODBC is listed as being done but isn't really?  Not a big
deal, just thought someone might care.  Thanks again.
