Hi Jared
Since you are the list's official Perl guru:
Speaking of making impossible things possible:
Is there a way of getting a DBI::Proxy server=20
to work under windows using Active State (5.6)?
I needed to install Net::Daemon and PlRPC,=20
but I keep getting Net::Daemon errors reporting=20
non-implemented methods needed by dbiproxy.
I would like to use that to run perl scripts=20
that were developed on and for unix to be run=20
on Cygwin, connecting to a local dbiproxy running=20
on Win2k (ActiveState Perl).
Any chance?

Betreff: RE: Oracle 10g for Windows
Robert,
The point with several of these items is that they=20
are not provided with the OS.
Re the services: stopping and starting a service will
not pick modifications to the environment. It requires
a reboot.
As for your comment on Perl: You don't appear to have
too much experience with it. Perl makes hard things
easy, and impossible things possible. :)
