Tom,

A fundamental difference between what I've started and what 
you are doing is that SQLMinus is dependent on DBI, and bit
that I've done is not.  Works with any data source, with or without
DBI.

I'm going to pursue it a bit further, and see what you think.

PS.  I'm not a member of dbi-dev yet, so this may not show up there.
