RE: Perl and DBI (5.6 and 5.8)

Yeah, there is, I heard that too. It probably looks something like this:

C:\Documents and Settings\MladenG>perl -e "use DBD::Oracle;print $DBD::Oracle::VERSION;"
1.16
C:\Documents and Settings\MladenG>perl -v

This is perl, v5.8.4 built for MSWin32-x86-multi-thread (with 3 registered patches, see perl -V for more detail)
