DBD::Oracle v1.35_00 on its way to CPAN

Everyone,

     The trial version of DBD::Oracle v1.35_00 is on its way to CPAN.  
Changelog details below.

     Again in this release, nothing major code-wise, but lot of little 
fixes, and a
major rearrangement of the documentation.

     As usual, unless problems surface, the version will be promoted for 
general
consumption in two week(ish).

Enjoy!

Changes in DBD-Oracle 1.35_00 (18-11-2011)

  [BUG FIXES]

  - if bind_col is called with a TYPE but no bind attributes like
    StrictlyTyped or DiscardString are set DBD::Oracle still attempts
    to call sql_type_cast which is pointless (Martin J. Evans)

  - if bind_col is called with a TYPE other than SQL_NUMERIC,
    SQL_INTEGER or SQL_DOUBLE and bind attributes like StrictlyTyped or
    DiscardString a warning was not issued that the type is unsupported
    and no data was returned (Martin J. Evans)

  - Fix test so it works with perl compiled with -Duselongdouble [RT71852]

  - Apply patch from Charles Jardine for better building against a full
    Oracle 11 install [RT72463] (Martin J. Evans)

  [DOCUMENTATION]

  - Added notes to bind_col documenting the fact that setting a TYPE
    does not affect how the column is bound in Oracle, only what
    happens after the column data is retrieved (Martin J. Evans)

  - fix typo (thanks to Julián Moreno Patiño) [RT72038]

  - shuffle POD around to improve documentation flow [RT72252]

  - major tidying up of the connect() documentation. (by Gwen Shapira)

  - Moved LONG examples out of POD and into examples/

  [OTHER]

  - Commented out some functions in oci8.c which were not used to
    reduce the size of the driver a little (Martin J. Evans)
