Hello monks,

I'm trying to implement an Oracle-driven web application with Class::DBI. All is generally going well, except when I try to access the class that points to a view instead of a real table; I get errors like 
Can't locate object method "search" via package "TestPkg::View" at /ho
+me/janjan/test.pl line 33.

I get the same error no matter what method I call, which leads me to believe that the package just isn't working.

Now, I've taken a look at Class::DBI::View, and even tried it out -- but, alas, with the same error. It was then that I delved a little deeper into Class::DBI::View, and began to think that it's possible that it doesn't support Oracle.

I'm using perl 5.005_03, Class::DBI 0.90 (I know, I know -- but political reasons keep me from upgrading DBI.pm. Ugh.), and the latest version of Class::DBI::Oracle.

All of my other packages seem to work just fine. Is there anything else I can try, short of setting up a cron job to populate a real table from the view?

Many thanks!
