I would think being forced to quit using Oraperl would be a good thing? :) But seriously, when was the last time anyone of heard of someone using Oraperl, or asking questions about it? I have some really old (good) stuff that uses Oraperl. Should I ever want to use it again I would most definitely convert to DBD::Oracle. At the time I wrote those scripts (1995!) , DBD::Oracle was new and scary. :) Jared On Wed, Jan 4, 2012 at 11:09, Yanick Champoux <[email protected]>wrote: > Hi all, > > For a long time now, the documentation of DBD::Oracle had been warning > that Oraperl is deprecated.
