Using Perl with Oracle 10G on Windows

I have used Perl for a long time, and it is the only language I use to do Windows command scripting. I have always used the Perl version from Activstate.com. Now that Oracle is delivered with a version of Perl, I am running into compatibility problems.

I would like to try using only the Perl that comes with oracle, so that I don't introduce version problems.

I tried to use the windows gui tool to assign the files of type *.pl to the perl program in:
#D:\oracle\product\10.1.0\Db_1\perl\5.6.1\bin\MSWin32-x86\perl.exe For some reason unknown to me, I click on a file named test.pl, I browse for the program to open it with, go to the perl.exe, click on Open, but when I get back to the window that is supposed to create the file association, the perl file doesn't show up.

I need to be able to associate files of type *.pl with the perl program.
Does anyone knwo what I need to do so that I can call a perl program from a command line and have it find and use the version from Oracle?

ByTheWay, I know windows sux, so spare me the lectures on that topic, please.

Thanks for any help or pointers to resources... Bob Treumann Received on Thu Jun 02 2005 - 10:30:07 CDT
