If you are on NT, try downloading the definitive pre-built Perl for NT: ActivePerl
http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Downloads/ActivePerl/ It may or may not already have DBI. I think it does, but if not, no problem. Just use ppm (perl package manager) for installing DBI and DBD::Oracle. The ...tar.gz files are intended for UNIX/Linux platform or simulated UNIX environment (usign cygwin). Of course, it is possible to build Perl on NT but why when ActivePerl is available and works.

I download DBD-Oracle-1.08.tar.gz from http://velocity.activestate.com/code/cpan/d/db/DBD-Oracle.html I' working on Windows NT, using Apache 1.3.20,Perl 5.6.1,mod_perl1.25_01 and also DBI1.15 is installed too. The database I'm using is Oracle 8, and it works well. I read the Readme.txt instructions, but I'm having problems when I execute the Makefile.pl file . The problem is that I have 2 ORACLE_HOME(Client and Manager), and the Makefile.pl file can not recognize the ORACLE_HOME that I set with the home selector. The ORACLE_HOME that I set with the oracle's home selector is the oracle client(e:\Ora8i). When I execute Makefile.pl from the command prompt the following error appears: Multiple Oracle homes: e:\Ora8i e:\OraMngr Using Oracle in e:/OraMngr Can't state e:/OraMngr/rdbms: No such file or directory I can't find the header files I need in your Oracle installation. You probably need to install some more Oracle components. OCI directory not found, please install OCI in e:/OraMngr at Makefile.PL line 181. (in cleanup)Can't call method "FETCH" on an undefined value at C:/Perl/site/lib/Win32/TieRegistry.pm line 1486 during global destruction. What can I do to run Makefile.pl using the client ORACLE_HOME(e:\Ora8i) ? What would happen, If I use ppm file to install the DBD-Oracle module? Does ppm file with Oracle_home. Sorry for trouble you.
