CCed to dbi-dev -- as I may be doing something wrong...however I just re-checked DBD::Oracle and it has the same 'use' at the top. > PS: There is ^M in your Makefile.PL Thanks. I'll look for it. Actually, it must be the whole file, as I work primarily under Win32...I can fix that for the next release.
