Sorry if I wasn't very clear. I meant that if Perl is open source and is DBI open source(? I don't know) If it isn't then it should be and if it isn't that seems hypocritical. Couldn't DBI be made to use the array interface if it is open source ? You might see if Oracle might produce such an animal. It is in their best interest. What would prevent them from doing so?
