· Compatible with most Perl modules
· Store code on the file system or in the database
· Use DBI to query or update the database from your code
· Perl's taint mode security catches dangerous situations at runtime
· Automatic datatype conversion between Oracle and Perl
· Supports IN, IN OUT, and OUT parameter modes
What's New in This Release:
· This release adds a comprehensive test suite and a new specification parser using Parse::RecDescent, and no longer requires relinking for new stored procedures.
