I already have it bundled and I have it PPM installable. Gennie -- I announced this a while back on DBI-Users and DBI-Announce. If you are running ActiveState build 808 (5.8.2) ppm install ftp://ftp.esoftmatic.com/outgoing/DBI/5.8.2/DBI.ppd ppm install ftp://ftp.esoftmatic.com/outgoing/DBI/5.8.2/DBD-Oracle.ppd Regards, Jeff > > Dave > > On Jan 9, Fermin, Gennie scribed: > > > Hi > > > > I'm trying to install DBD-Oracle.
