I'm new to Perl and I'm trying to get some existing Perl scripts
working against an Oracle database on a remote server. I've installed
ActiveState perl 5.6.1 binary (build 631) on a Win 2000 computer,
followed
by a ppm install of DBI and then DBD-Oracle8. I have a pre-existing
installation of Oracle client 8.057 and I can successfully operate with
SQL*Plus, MS Access ODBC, etc.
When I try to do a DBI->Connect, however, I get the following
message which seems to imply that
something hasn't been installed properly:
Can't locate auto/DBI/CONNECT.al in @INC (@INC contains: C:/Perl/lib
C:/Perl/site/lib .) at testinstall.pl line 14
I cannot find the CONNECT.al module on my system anywhere, I've
searched Perl and DBI documentation, and I searched at least some of the
several listserv archives, but so far I've found nothing to help track
this down. What am I missing? Can someone point me in the right
direction?
