dope.sh is a shell script that facilitates discovery of the Oracle-Perl
environment on a Unix (Solaris) system [1]. I distribute an open-source
Perl application that incorporates a DBI/DBD::Oracle connection. The
users that implement the application generally (but not always) have the
requisite DBI/DBD modules but also often have multiple
instances/versions of Perl installed. When those users have database
connection problems, the first thing I do is try to sort out exactly
what Perl/Oracle components they do and don't have available on their
system. This can be time consuming since I don't have access to their
systems. This utility was designed to output the information that I
usually ask users to provide and I now include it with my application
distribution.
If anybody else thinks they can get any use out of it, they are welcome
to use and/or modify it.
