Hi, With a fresh install of 64bit 5.16.2 on Windows 7 I get the following error when trying to use DBD::Oracle:
Error executing run mode 'dbms_test': install_driver(Oracle) failed: Can't load 'C:/Perl64/lib/auto/DBD/Oracle/Oracle.dll' for module DBD::Oracle: load_file:%1 is not a valid Win32 application at C:/Perl64/lib/DynaLoader.pm line 191. at (eval 61) line 3. Compilation failed in require at (eval 61) line 3. Perhaps a required shared library or dll isn't installed where expected I'm running Oracle 11g XE R2, which only comes as 32bit. So I suspected that it was looking for the 64bit client libraries and not finding them. So I downloaded instantclient-basic-windows.x64-11.2.0.3.0.zip instantclient-sqlplus-windows.x64-11.2.0.3.0.zip instantclient-sdk-windows.x64-11.2.0.3.0.zip From: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/winx64soft-089540.html And installed to c:\oraclexe\instantclient_11_2 I added these to my path: C:\>set PATH = c:\oraclexe\instantclient_11_2;%PATH% But unfortunately the error persisted :( On checking my PATH: echo %PATH% I could see that the set was getting ignored. I guess that was a permissions issue. So I edited the system path variable and restarted the command prompt. This fixed the issue and allowed me to connect :) I thought I'd post this so that someone else with the same issue might come across it.
