I've put up a page with the test results for various combinations at: http://www.andyh.co.uk/temp/DBD-Oracle/1.17RC1/ It builds successfully and the majority of tests run OK on all the combinations, but there are some Unicode-related issues, in particular on 24implicit_utf8 on Linux and Windows with UTF8 client character set against a non-Unicode database. Under Cygwin there are additional Unicode-related failures. -- Andy Hassall :: [EMAIL PROTECTED] :: http://www.andyh.co.uk http://www.andyhsoftware.co.uk/space :: disk and FTP usage analysis tool
