First of all, if it's working for you then don't worry about it. I'm curious about this though: > On the other hand, Oracle's product does not include all the sources > -which could have patches- making up the mod_perl enabled Apache Are you saying Oracle provided special modules for you to use? Are you sure they aren't just the standard DBD::Oracle stuff? Oracle has never been very interested in helping people solve DBD::Oracle problems before, so I don't see why they would be secretly distributing special versions with private patches. Unless there is some additional module provided by Oracle which has a C component and no source, you should be fine to replace everything they gave you if you want to. I wouldn't bother though, unless it's giving you trouble. - Perrin
