Wayne,
Did you install the server or the client? I assume it's a server. What
platform did you install it from?Unix/NT?
Print the Oracle system admin guide/sqlplus users guide ( join the
otn.oracle.com)
This what I did on my Unix.
set up all the necessary path variables like $ORACLE_HOME and $ORACLE_SID

What To Do Once You've Downloaded A Module From The CPAN
You have a file ending in .tar.gz (or, less often, .zip). You know there's a tasty module inside. There are four steps you must now take:
DECOMPRESS the file
UNPACK the file into a directory
BUILD the module (sometimes unnecessary)
INSTALL the module.
Here's how to perform each step for each operating system. This is
not a substitute for reading the README and
INSTALL files that might have come with your module!
Also note that these instructions are tailored for installing the
module into your system's repository of Perl modules. But
you can install modules into any directory you wish. For instance,
where I say perl Makefile.PL, you can substitute
perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/my/perl_directory to install the modules
into /my/perl_directory. Then you
can use the modules from your Perl programs with use lib
"/my/perl_directory/lib/site_perl"; or
sometimes just use "/my/perl_directory";.
1.If you're on Unix,
(You can use Andreas König's CPAN module to automate the entire
process, from DECOMPRESS through
INSTALL.)
A. DECOMPRESS
Decompress the file with gzip -d yourmodule.tar.gz
You can get gzip from ftp://prep.ai.mit.edu/pub/gnu.
Or, you can combine this step with the next to save disk
space:
gzip -dc yourmodule.tar.gz | tar -xof -
B. UNPACK Unpack the result with tar -xof yourmodule.tar
C. BUILD Go into the newly-created directory and type:
perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
D. INSTALL
While still in that directory, type:
make install
Make sure you have the appropriate permissions to install
the module in your Perl 5 library
directory. Often, you'll need to be root.
That's all you need to do on Unix systems with dynamic
linking. Most Unix systems have dynamic
linking -- if yours doesn't, or if for another reason you
have a statically-linked perl, and the module
requires compilation, you'll need to build a new Perl
binary that includes the module. Again, you'll
probably need to be root.
2.If you're running Windows 95 or NT with the ActiveState port of
Perl,
B. UNPACK If you used WinZip, this was already done for you.
C. BUILD Does the module require compilation (i.e. does it have files that end in .xs, .c, .h, .y, .cc, .cxx, or
.C)? If it does, you're on your own. You can try compiling it yourself if you have a C compiler. If
you're successful, consider uploading the resulting binary to the CPAN for others to use. If it doesn't,
go to INSTALL.
D. INSTALL Copy the module into your Perl's lib directory. That'll be one of the directories you see when you
type perl -e "print qq(@INC)".
3.If you're running Windows 95 or NT with the core Windows distribution of Perl,
sometimes download .tar.gz files as _tar.tar, because early versions of Windows prohibited
more than one dot in a filename.
You can use WinZip (shareware) to decompress and unpack modules.
Or, you can use InfoZIP's unzip utility to uncompress .zip files; type unzip yourmodule.zip in
your shell.
Or, if you have a working tar and gzip, you can type
gzip -cd yourmodule.tar.gz | tar xvf -
in the shell to decompress yourmodule.tar.gz. This will
UNPACK your module as well.
B. UNPACK All of the methods in DECOMPRESS will have done this for you.
C. BUILD Go into the newly-created directory and type:
perl Makefile.PL
dmake
dmake test
Depending on your perl configuration, dmake might not be
available. You might have to substitute
whatever perl -V:make says. (Usually, that will be nmake
or make.)
D. INSTALL While still in that directory, type:
dmake install
4.If you're using a Macintosh,
(shareware), or MacGzip (freeware).
B. UNPACK If you're using DropStuff or Stuffit, you can just extract the tar archive. Otherwise, you can use
suntar (freeware).
C. BUILD Does the module require compilation?
Overview: You need MPW and a combination of new and old CodeWarrior compilers for MPW
and libraries. Makefiles created for building under MPW use the Metrowerks compilers. It's most
likely possible to build without other compilers, but it has not been done successfully, to our
knowledge. Read the documentation in MacPerl: Power And Ease on porting/building extensions, or
find an existing precompiled binary, or hire someone to build it for you.
Or, ask someone on the mac-perl mailing list to build it for you. To subscribe to the mac-perl mailing
list, send mail to mac-perl-request_at_iis.ee.ethz.ch.
2. If the module doesn't require compilation, go to INSTALL. D. INSTALL Make sure the newlines for the modules are in Mac format, not Unix format. Move the files manually
into the correct folders.
Move the files to their final destination: This will most likely be in $ENV{MACPERL}site_lib: (i.e.,
HD:MacPerl folder:site_lib:). You can add new paths to the default @INC in the Preferences
menu item in the MacPerl application ($ENV{MACPERL}site_lib: is added automagically). Create
whatever directory structures are required (i.e., for Some::Module, create
$ENV{MACPERL}site_lib:Some: and put Module.pm in that directory).
Run the following script (or something like it):
#!perl -w
use AutoSplit;
my $dir = "${MACPERL}site_perl";
autosplit("$dir:Some:Module.pm", "$dir:auto", 0, 1, 1);
Eventually there should be a way to automate the
installation process; some solutions exist, but none
are ready for the general public yet.
5.If you're on DOS (the DJGPP port),
A. DECOMPRESS
djtarx will both uncompress and unpack.
B. UNPACK
See above.
C. BUILD
Go into the newly-created directory and type:
perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
You will need the packages mentioned in Readme.dos in the
Perl distribution.
D. INSTALL While still in that directory, type:
make install
You will need the packages mentioned in Readme.dos in the Perl distribution.
6.If you're on OS/2,
Get the EMX development suite and gzip/tar, from either Hobbes or LEO, and then follow the instructions for
Unix.
7.If you're on VMS,
When downloading from CPAN, save your file with a .tgz extension instead of .tar.gz. All other periods in
the filename should be replaced with underscores. For example, Your-Module-1.33.tar.gz should be
downloaded as Your-Module-1_33.tgz.
gzip -d Your-Module.tgz
or, for zipped modules, type
unzip Your-Module.zip
Executables for gzip, zip, and VMStar: Alphas, Vaxen.
gzip and tar are also available at
ftp://ftp.digital.com/pub/VMS.
Note that GNU's gzip/gunzip is not the same as Info-ZIP's zip/unzip package. The former is a simple
compression tool; the latter permits creation of multi-file archives.
B. UNPACK If you're using VMStar:
VMStar xf Your-Module.tar
Or, if you're fond of VMS command syntax:
tar/extract/verbose Your_Module.tar
C. BUILD Make sure you have MMS (from Digital) or MMK (freeware from MadGoat). Then type this to
create the DESCRIP.MMS for th emodule:
perl Makefile.PL
Now you're ready to build:
mms
mms test
Substitute mmk for mms above if you're using MMK.
D. INSTALL
Type
mms install
Substitute mmk for mms above if you're using MMK.
8.If you're on MVS,
Introduce the .tar.gz file into an HFS as binary; don't
translate from ASCII to EBCDIC.
Decompress the file with gzip -d yourmodule.tar.gz
You can get gzip from
B. UNPACK
Unpack the result with
pax -o to=IBM-1047,from=ISO8859-1 -r < yourmodule.tar
The BUILD and INSTALL steps are identical to those for Unix.
Some modules generate Makefiles that work
better with GNU make, which is available from
http://www.mks.com/s390/gnu/index.htm.
If you have any suggested changes for this page, let me know. Please don't send me mail asking for help on how to install your modules. There are too many modules, and too few Orwants, for me to be able to answer or even acknowledge all your questions. Contact the module author instead, or post to comp.lang.perl.modules, or ask someone familiar with Perl on your operating system.
