Hey, contact me in person, and I'll try to help.

Here is the deal.  www.xmlproj.com/PPM now has perl 5.6 and perl 5.8
PPMs.  ppm utility does not have to take the full URL.  All you really
have to do, is add the www.xmlproj.com/PPM or any other respository to
your PPM database, like this...

ppm add respository XMLPROJ http://www.xmlproj.com/PPM/

Hi Tim and Ilya,
I have encountered this problem and many more have encountered this
problem! The standard PERL/PPM install on WIndows will not load/install
the DBD::Oraperl package as it is not on the default repository that is
set when standard PERL is installed. Not many people understand PPM
takes an URL for install; but assuming they did, how will they know
where such a PPD exists. If somebody can take the little trouble of
installing the PPD in the standard repository location it will be of
great help! The problem is compounded due to the fact that the
ActiveState PERL web site shows latest version 5.8.x available. We spent
more than 10 days to figure out that 5.8 or latest PERL releases do not
things set up properly. I could not find one Net searchable site that
explains this issue 100's have encountered. Pls. let me know if you need
some manpower for this. May be I can be of help! It was amazingly
frustrating for all PERL experts at work here (using it for 3-4 years on
UNIX). 
Thanks and sorry for sounding a little frustrated, but ready to help if
you think I can, Steve [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Where did you find that information out.  Of course they are available.

The latest can be obtained from

ppm install http://xmlproj.com/PPM/DBD-Oracle.ppd

FW: [Fwd: DBD::ADO and DBD::ODBC with foxpro driver problem]

2002-07-17 Thread Jeff Urlwin

Simon,

Evidently, my ISP is blacklisted by your server...hence the posting to
dbi-users to update the status of the FoxPro issue...

Regards,

FYI -- I've tracked down at least one problem that I'm not (yet) sure how to
handle.
My column data buffers are being over-written during a call to SQLBindCol.
In this example, Column 0 data is being trashed (nulled) when binding the
fourth column.  Still trying to track if it's DBD::ODBC passing bad
values...

 Just so you know, I haven't forgotten.  I have a test table with
 two columns
 and any time the STH is destroyed, I get the problem.

 I do something like:
 connect
 {
   my $sth = $dbh-prepare(select * from areatype);
 } # fails here when destroy on $sth is called...

 $dbh-disconnect;

 Tracing through the prepare and setup of the sth to see what could be
 causing it.

No Randal if you use the 20 seconds that means you are at
break even! You are ahead if you can keep that 20 seconds
