Hi, I've spent some time on this today and I am getting nowhere. Before I redouble my efforts I thought I'd post here just in case anything rings a bell with someone.
We are using the latest DBI and DBD::Oracle to get data from an Oracle data. All data is retrieved via reference cursor returned from a function or procedure. When our application starts work there is no problem but part way through all of the returned data is inexplicably tainted. This is a real PITA because of bugs in Locale::MakeText (http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=40727) via the Perl bug re pos not updated on \G in regexps (http://rt.perl.org/rt3/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=27344) and in general because some DB returned data is used to create filenames and because it prevents us using -T (instead we are having to run -t). We are running the perl script as root but it makes no difference run as a normal user. When tainted data is returned TaintIn, TaintOut and Taint are all false on the connection handle and the statement handles are created a fresh for each procedure/function call. I've tried with the Ubuntu 9.10 supplied 5.10 and a separate 5.10.1 I built - no difference. Any ideas where to go next? Thanks Martin
