Hmm! Interesting concept. Which OCI handles are we talking about??
Like Matin said you would have to do that with .XS and you would pass I guess a
pointer to the
'C' struct that holds the pointers to DBD::Oraclles pointers?
You would have to cast that struct into you C++ somehow??
There would be a good number of handles to pass over. You might be able to
find them by looking at the Perl process tree
and finding the SV that holds the struct and then sening that over?
All just guesses on my part.
Interesting concept non the less.
Cheers
