George, Jeff has now told you *twice* what you need to do, and you haven't done what he suggested yet. If you're going to ask for help here you need to at least try what people suggest. And just-so-you-know, asking for phone numbers isn't really appropriate.
Here are the ftp url's that Jeff told you to use: ppm install ftp://ftp.esoftmatic.com/outgoing/DBI/5.8.3/DBI.ppd And ppm install ftp://ftp.esoftmatic.com/outgoing/DBI/5.8.3/DBD-Oracle.ppd ------------------------- And here is the one you have problems with: ppm install ftp://ftp.esoftmatic.com/outgoing/5.8.3/DBI.ppd Do you see the difference between yours and Jeff's DBI.ppd path??? Hardy Merrill >>> "HSIA, GEORGE (SBCSI)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 06/23/04 04:43PM >>> I have ActiveState Perl 5.8.3. I used the PPM to install the DBD-Oracle driver to my pc: C:\>ppm install ftp://ftp.esoftmatic.com/outgoing/5.8.3/DBI.ppd But I got the Error: Failed to download URL ftp://ftp.esoftmatic.com/outgoing/5.8.3/DBI.ppd: 404 Can't chdir to 5.8.3 So, I went to ftp://ftp.esoftmatic.com/outgoing/ and click the 5.8.3, then chose DBI.ppd, but there is no such file "DBI.ppd" there!! Could you check that FTP website for me??? -- I will need both the DBI and DBD-Oracle. Alternatively, I also went to your CPAN site to check the drivers for DBD-Oracle-1.15 <DBD-Oracle-1.15/> and DBI-1.42 <DBI-1.42/> and found they both are the *.tar. Gz files. How do I use the PPM on the command line to install these drivers for AS Perl 5.8.3? -- I need the detailed commands step-by-step. Thanks. George Hsia (925)823-2417
