OraPerl Help Page

OraPerl, like DBD::Oracle, is an Oracle extension for Perl written by Kevin Stock. OraPerl offers additional functions and features to access Oracle databases from standard Perl programs.

The main problem with OraPerl is that is uses Perl4 only. Perl5 is the latest release of Perl. Kevin doesn't have any plans to upgrade OraPerl to Perl V5.

DBD::Oracle comes with an OraPerl emulation layer, which allows one to run legacy oraperl scripts without modification. The emulation layer translates the oraperl API calls into the corresponding DBI calls.
