DBD::Oracle has suffered from my lack of spare time in recent years. I've postponed the inevitable long enough. Realistically I can't maintain DBD::Oracle and move forward with other work, such as DBI v2 and Perl 6 etc., with my limited spare time.
I'm looking for someone to take the lead and, hopefully, others to contribute. I will, of course, be available for help etc. There's some small measure of fame but no fortune here.[*] I'm asking of dbi-dev first. If I get no takers I'll cast the net wider. Tim. [*] There is $500 sitting in The Perl Foundation DBI grant, put there at my request by a kind DBD::Oracle using company (they were going to give it to me directly). I think it would be reasonable for me to ask TPF to pay that to whoever shows commitment to ongoing maintainance of DBD::Oracle over the coming months. I can't promise though as it's up to TPF to decide.
