Thanks! My guess: no-one had the need, time and skills to fix it. There's a newer linux-oracle-instantclient-sdk available in the ports (10.2.0.3), and maybe it helps to compile and link a newer DBD::Oracle. And there's an newer version (12.1.0.2.0) pending commit: https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=157544 -- p...@opsec.eu +49 171 3101372 5 years to go !
