As of the latest release of Oracle9i it is (supposedly) possible to construct Java stored 'functions' that return references to cursors (albeit 'non-scrollable'). Such stored functions may then be invoked from inside client side java beans. However, is anyone of you aware of a way to do the same from a Perl script?

One major problem I see is that existing DBD::Oracle driver (perl) works only for Oracle 7 and 8. I have, therefore, serious doubts as to whether the driver is fit for use in my perl scripts that need to talk to Oracle 9 databases? Especially if I require certain extended functionality (such as processing cursors returned via java stored functions and alike).

Thanks for your help.
