Well here is is a very large maintenance release of DBD::ORACLE
You can find it here
http://svn.perl.org/modules/dbd-oracle/trunk/DBD-Oracle-1.22-RC1.tar
Any and all testing would be greatly appreciated, but especially
testing of building against Oracle Instant Client on a range of platforms.
Looks like I got Makefile to work on most clients and platforms
including 64 bit sun and others
As well don't bother testing this against an 8 DB or Client as I am
dropping support for 8 in this version. See the POD for more details.
