RE: OT: Perl on Windows

Note that ActiveState does supply DBI but not DBD::Oracle (got burned by this a few weeks ago). Search google.com for sites to add to your PPM servers list in order to grab those mods. Check out http://ppm.activestate.com/BuildStatus/5.8.html and http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/docs/ActivePerl/faq/ActivePerl-faq2.html for more info. Sorry I didn't see the post sooner! GL!

Hi Niall,

For DBD::Oracle/DBI issues you might like to the join the DBI Users list at lists.perl.org.

The Perl Bookshelf CD from OReilly is quite useful, it has several essential Perl books on the CD includes a paper copy of Perl in a Nutshell.

Perusal of articles at www.perl.com could also be useful.

As for where to start, learning Perl on Win32 would be a good place, though strangely enough, it does not appear to the on the CD.

I say 'strangely' because I have an earlier version which does include it.
