Hi Rajakumar,
It may be helpful if we knew what failed in the installation of the
DBD::Oracle module. IMO, it would be better to fix that problem than copy over
another perl installation.
However, you can change what is in @INC if you want to try that. You can:
use lib qw(/some/path /some/other/path);
At the begining of your script to prepend directories to @INC. Or, you can
set a PERL5LIB environment variable, which will do the same. So, you may want
to add the needed paths in one of those ways, or try to find (and remedy) the
reason why DBD::Oracle won't install for you.
Cheers,
Kevin
