Earlier (11/15,11/16) we ascertained that I am unable to insert into a CLOB 
field from my Perl script due to some outdated Perl modules.  I have been on a 
quest since then to locate and install the 1.20 version of DBI and the 1.12 
version of DBD::Oracle.  While I have successfully located them (or, more 
accurately, the tar version which is not for windows), I am running 
into additional, formidable problems.

I've tried three different ways; ppm, nmake, and perl -MCPAN.

PPM reports it cannot locate a PPD file for package Bundle::DBI. So it doesn't 
seem to have this package for windows.  I also tried just "DBI" and "DBI-1.20".
 
nmake seems to require a file called cl.exe, which I don't have:
C:\Perl\modules\all\DBI-1.19>nmake

'cl.exe' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'C:\WINNT\system32\cmd.exe' : return code '0x1'
Stop.
 
perl -MCPAN reports "C:\WINNT\tar.EXE: couldn't change access and modification 
times of Storable-1.0.13/t:  : Permission denied". This shows up for everything 
involving tar.exe.

Anyone out there have any suggestions?

Thanks.
