mod_perl is Perl.  So anything you can do in perl, you can do in
mod_perl.  Just get your orcale access working from perl, and then you
have it working for mod_perl too.

gordon, 

the answer is an emphatic "Yes!"  thanks to the developers of the freely
available Perl DBI/DBD modules (see http://search.cpan.org), many database
interfaces are supported.  perhaps you start at the very excellent
mod_perl guide:
