Just a quick note to let you know that I'm cooking up a new
release of Oracle::OCI.

That'll be the 'big one' in the sense that it features full integration
with the DBI and a working 'quantum entanglement' function for output
buffer length handling, best described using the test harness code:

my $foo = "abcd";
oci_buf_len_test( oci_buf_len($foo, 200) );
sub oci_buf_len_test {
ok @_ == 2;
ok $_[0], $foo;
ok $_[1], 200;
ok $_[1] = 2;   # assignment to len magically affects string!
ok $_[0], substr($foo,0,2);
}
