extproc_perl 2.0: Oracle Stored Procedures in Perl

extproc_perl enables you to write Oracle stored procedures in Perl,
providing another database programming language beyond PL/SQL and Java.
Some of its supported features include cross-procedure interpreter
persistence, callbacks into the database using DBI, automatic conversion
between Oracle and Perl datatypes, and of course, the entire CPAN library
of Perl modules. This session covers the new 2.0 version of extproc_perl
from soup to nuts: a general overview, installation, configuration, usage,
callbacks using DBI, troubleshooting, and plenty of useful examples that
you can try on your own databases.
