Well sort of bone of contention here in that the test will never work as
you will need a Oracle client and DB to get past any but the first ones.
But to answer the real question about DBD::Oracle and perl version it
should be compatible with 5.8 as it only required 5.6 to run and compile
the more important question is which version of DBD::Oracle do you use
to connect to you DB
From the start of the POD
If you are still stuck with an older version of Oracle or its client you
might want to look at the table below.
+---------------------+--------------------------------------------+
| | Oracle Version |
+---------------------+----+-------------+---------+------+--------+
| DBD::Oracle Version | <8 | 8.0.3~8.0.6 | 8iR1~R2 | 8iR3 | 9i~11g |
+---------------------+----+-------------+---------+------+--------+
| 0.1~16 | Y | Y | Y
| Y | Y |
+---------------------+----+-------------+---------+------+--------+
| 1.17 | Y | Y | Y | Y

+---------------------+----+-------------+---------+------+--------+

Have a look at http://matrix.cpantesters.org/?dist=DBI+1.609 for DBI
and http://matrix.cpantesters.org/?dist=DBD-Oracle+1.23 for
DBD::Oracle. It doen't look good for DBD::Oracle but it seems to me
that the passed tests are not reported ... it can't be such a bad code
;-)

Could you please tell me which versions of DBI and DBD-Oracle are

Your help is appreciated.
