I'm glad for you. Unfortunately, it still doesn't support array interface. That is the bottom line. Your personal impressions will not help me to resolve that.

Both utilities are toys, not meant for heavy duty data processing. If that is what the original poster is trying to do, DBD::Oracle is not the right tool. Not supporting the array interface is a cardinal sin which, essentially, renders Perl useless for any real data processing with Oracle. I'm sure it worked for you, it might have even worked for your mom and for your cousin Vinnie. It doesn't change the fact that DBD::Oracle doesn't support the array interface.
