Have you looked at the DBI documentation for $dbh->commit and $dbh->rollback? You have to make sure AutoCommit is off, but this too is explained in the documentation for these functions. I found "perldoc DBI" to be sufficient for anything I needed to do.

Can some one share or point me to an example where data is inserted into two or more (Oracle) tables, but none of the changes are committed unless the inserts to _all_ of the tables were successful?
