echo command success or failure has nothing DBI or oracle

except that the example code uses Perl backticks and that can be affected by signal disposition.

The code , as presented, doesn't mess with signals, and even if it did, echo still has nothing to do with DBI or DBD::Oracle	[reply]

I know the code "as presented" does not mention signals but the code it uses under the hood does. I think you'll find Oracle's instant client library changes the disposition of some signals and as Perl backticks uses system (which relies on SIGCHLD) it is relevant to the post and probably the answer.
