I'm guessing that you're talking about this message and later thread? http://www.xray.mpe.mpg.de/mailing-lists/dbi/2000-09/msg00666.html (accessing remote Oracle server on Win32) http://www.xray.mpe.mpg.de/mailing-lists/dbi/2000-10/threads.html#00017 (how2 install DBD:Oracle on win32 to access remote Oracle7) I did eventually get things going. The last message I see from myself is: http://www.rosat.mpe-garching.mpg.de/mailing-lists/dbi/2000-10/msg00145.html where I still had a question about some error messages I was getting when I tried to do a _>connect(). I don't see a reply in the archives, which is why I'm replying on-list at this point so that some day in the future I can point to this message. Someone did reply to me off-list (I guess, since I don't see it in the thread) and as I recall, their response was that DBI just isn't -w clean. I found this frustrating, but as I recall, I just turned off warnings and things were fine. If you're asking about some problem earlier in the sequence here are the steps I used... install the oracle client on the webserver use PPM to install DBI and DBD::Oracle on the webserver. Note: you can the most current versions by following the instructions at http://www.xray.mpe.mpg.de/mailing-lists/dbi/2001-12/msg00334.html turn off warnings in your perl script using DBI (or local() them away for the relevant blocks of code). hope that helps. -matt --
