in thread Oracle 10g client not working with Perl 5.5

"...Build your own perl..."

As i vaguely remember 10g as well as 11g come with their own Perl.

If so the OP will have to maintain/take care of some versions of Perl: the one that comes with Oracle, the one that will surely be on his box and the one he compiles for his own purposes, right?

I wish him well.

Best regards and have a nice Father's Day, Karl

    Oracle has shipped with some version of perl for a long time, it's used for their tools and some scripts which get shipped as part of/updates to the product. For reference Oracle 12C ships with perl 5.14.1 (from 2011). This is maintained by Oracle under the release of the database product. I don't even bother using it.

      Thanks and best regards, Karl
