load_dbnames() function - DBD::Oracle



The load_dbnames() function does not handle tnsnames.ora files properly. It
scans _the_ file looking for leading edge database connection names, but it
doesn't honor the ifile directive.



The ifile directive basically does an include of the specified file(s) which
may contain other ifile directives or database connection names.



I had fixed this for myself and thought I reported it years ago. Now I've
lost my fix (shame on me) and I see that this is still an issue with the
current release of DBD::Oracle.



Just thought I pass this along . again(?).
