It would be sort of cool to have things like direct insert (append hint), bulk collect into, varray -> perl array mapping and alike in Perl. That would
be much more useful then flogging a dead horse like Oracle7. I don't use oraperl
syntax for ages now. All my reports are using DBD syntax.

You can login to whatever the oracle client libs you link with will let you log into. For v8 libs that includes v7. I did hear recently that v9.x no longer lets you connect to v7.

You could always keep a copy of DBD::Oracle 1.14 for use with Oracle 7. Just install it into a different directory.
