This is an os/2 port of Kevin Stock's oraperl v1 patch 3 (a little
behind, I'll build v2 patch 4 <soon>). This code will run on 32 bit
versions of os/2 only.
This version is binaries only. I am working on putting the sources
in working shape for distribution. This os/2 port of oraperl is in
the public domain and may be copied freely under the provisions of the
GNU general public license, or Larry Wall's Artistic licence.
Oraperl for os/2 depends on: Oraperl, Perl, and, gcc/emx 0.8f. I have
included all of the appropriate README files:
README.os2 this file
README oraperl readme
README.prl perl for os/2
Copying Gnu general public license
Artistic Larry Wall's Artistic licence
The os/2 port requires the following DLL's
emx.dll emx 'unix' system calls
ora632.dll oracle 32 bit dynlinks
osnt32.dll oracle network dynlinks?
litb32.dll oracle ?
I have cleared shipping the binary linked against Oracle libraries
as well as the necessary .dll's from Oracle Corp. If you have an
oracle server you should have all necessary DLL's. There may
be others required.
This port has been tested under os/2 2.0 & 2.1 using ibm tcp/ip
1.2.1 and sqlnet tcp/ip for network transport. Although Perl for
os/2 will run under dos with emx.exe, oraperl will not; due to the
dependence on oracle os/2 dll's. Debugging support has not been
included.
In addition to Kevin's documentation and example files (see README),
I have included a flat-text version of the manual page (oraperl.cat).
My express thanks go to Kevin Stock, the oraperl author and Kai Uwe
Rommel, author of perl for os/2. Thanks also to Larry Wall for Perl
and Ebehard Mattes for Emx (gcc varriant supporting unix system calls).
