Using DBD-Oracle-1.20 under perl 5.10

In routine find_bin() in Makefile.PL

1) The first problem is the that the -x pragma doesn't work when using the

use filetest 'access'

pragma. This is a Perl bug, not your problem. See rt.cpan,org -
#33244: -x operator fails under 5.10

Unless filetest does something special for you, suggest you take it out.

2) Testing for -x is not enough. The test has to be for -f and -x
because under some installations, sqlplus is also a directory with
config files for the sqlplus program and directories are executable,
at least under UNIX. A -x only test could return a directory and then
the build will fail later.
