Hi,

this is not a direct answer to your question, but just a comment based on what you asked for.

You want to migrate an old Perl codebase to the version 5.16 of Perl. That means that you have to test the whole codebase whether it behaves like before. I don't know how you do it. Probably you have good unit tests or you have to do it with integration tests. It seems that all functions of Oraperl begin with 'ora_' so that you can grep all occurences easily. It would be intersting to see if it's not feasible to migrate Oraperl to DBI and DBD::Oracle too.

You have to test all anyways. What do you think?

McA
