Thanks for pulling this together John and to everyone else who has
contributed.

For me no new problems to report.

I still have 25exe_array test failing and the problem I posted with lob
freeing but neither are causing any issues in our application.

I did the following:

o no compiler warnings other than those generated by Perl macros in XS.

o all tests except one in 26exe_array succeed

o confirmed the test code I posted still generates "DBD::Oracle::st
DESTROY failed: ORA-22922: nonexistent LOB value (DBD ERROR:
OCILobFreeTemporary)". I'll maybe rt this after 1.24 unless I find a fix
before.

o re-tested RowCacheSize changes
  checked multiple rows are fetched at a time (rt46763 and rt46998)
  checked the RowsInCache changes (not rt'ed - posted in dbi-dev)

o checked unicode in errors is displayed properly (rt46438)

o checked binding of integers as IVs works (rt49818)

o tested I can run simple scripts with ora_verbose=15

o tested the default settings retrieve lobs when chrset is utf-8
(ORA_DBD_NCS_BUFFER)

o run through our application tests without issues.

This was on a linux 32 bit system with "v5.10.0 built for
i486-linux-gnu-thread-multi". I am using DBI from subversion trunk,
Oracle 11.1 server and instant client 11.1
