Cool.  Was there a specific reason you ported DBI at all, instead of using
the existing port (http://pudge.net/macperl/)?  Is it just that you did it
awhile ago before the port existed or you knew of it?

Do you know if your DBD::Oracle would work with DBI 1.08 or higher (that is
the current port version on MMP)?

Do you want to get access to MMP to put links to DBD-Oracle on there?

Heh, I don't think anyone said it is impossible.  It was just said that
someone needed the client libraries to do it, and probably a bit of elbow
grease.  Regardless, thanks very much, and if I had access to an Oracle DB,
I would be all over it right now.  :)
