dope.sh (Discover Oracle-Perl Environment)

This shell script utility is designed to help determine what different versions of Perl, Oracle, and Perl DBI and DBD::Oracle modules have been installed on a Unix (Solaris) system.

This script was created to help troubleshoot New Books List and ShelfLister installation problems. This is a minimally tested beta version -- no warranties, use at your own risk, yada, yada. Feedback appreciated.
