Thanks. Since I don't have a MacOS X system I can't test any of this or reliably do any integration work. But I would like to see better MacOS X support included in the DBD::Oracle distribution. So, I'm looking for a volunteer to work on this. Any offers? Firstly, I'd really like the 'build rule discovery' process to work for MacOS X, or at least have a very good understanding of why it can't be used. (Don't Oracle ship buildable examples on MacOS X?) Secondly, the removable_symbols_dbd_create.pl logic can be integrated into Makefile.PL. Thirdly, ... anything else to make life easier...
