Hello BillB,

Welcome to the Monastery. I am reading your question and I am getting confused, what module has version 1.20? You are referring to DBI or DBD::Oracle? None of these modules latest version is 1.20, can you provide us a bit more information. Where your code is failing, sample of code and error?

To answer your question on how to downgrade a module. Maybe there are different ways but I would remove the module and install the version that I desire. How to remove the module? Simply use another module to that for you, for example App::cpanminus sample of command: cpanm --uninstall DBD::Oracle. But to be honest usually the solution is to upgrade to a latest version not to downgrade version.

Having said that I would recommend to updade your cpan, simply by doing this: install CPAN and after reload cpan the upper and lower case of the characters is important.

As a last step I would upgrade all the modules to the latest version. There are several ways to do it, I usually do it like: cpan[1]> upgrade. Sample of alternative solution from the forum safe way to upgrade module.

Hope this helps, BR.
