Re: oracle driver for perl

You need to get both the DBI and DBD::Oracle modules built and installed. DBD::Oracle will require some Oracle files (eg includes).

The best way to get all these is to use the CPAN module. I don't know if it is in 5.005 but try
%perl -MCPAN -e shell.

Configure the CPAN module as per screen prompts and documentation.

CPAN>install DBI
CPAN>install DBD::Oracle

these two will download, build, test and install the modules into you perl set up. While you are about this you can also upgrade your perl but this may require playing with other modules. Current version is 5.6.
