[MacPerl] RDBMS Access via Perl Modules

[Michael Myers <myersm@rockvax.rockefeller.edu>]

I am a brand-spankin' new perl user.

I have read about the perl modules that permit access to relational database systems. I am specifically interested in what can be done with MacPerl and Oracle hosted on SGI. 

* Does the db module work on the Mac? 
* For Oracle, does it work through SQL*Net? (as all Oracle connections appear to)
* Does it require an ODBC Driver?

That last question is the sticky point. I have been searching in vain for a power pc native ODBC driver for Oracle. Intersolv has repeatedly told me that they had a new driver in beta testing. Still haven't seen it.

thanks,

mpm
