I suppose I could take it over as I am doing DBD::Oracle as well.

Hi !

I am ready to help with what all I could contribute after my office hours
everyday and in weekends.

Let me know how I could be of any help in this initiative.

On technical competencies, I have good overview of Perl, Pro*C and
UNIX/Linux.

Wonderful. Thanks to both of you.

I suggest you both try building it with recent Oracle versions
(it's bound to need some build changes after all these years).
We can coordinate via dbi-dev@xxxxxxxxx

Meanwhile, I'll move the code to a public repository.

Thanks!

Tim.
