Last time I got a prebuilt DBD::Oracle from ActiveState (which was a while ago), if you got 'DBD::Oracle' it was linked against Oracle 7, whereas if you fetched 'DBD::Oracle8' it was more usefully linked against Oracle 8i. Although if you have access to MS Visual C++, you're much better off using that and getting the CPAN module to compile the latest version for you from source. -- Andy Hassall ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) icq(5747695) (http://www.andyh.co.uk) Space: disk usage analysis tool (http://www.andyhsoftware.co.uk/space)
