We discoverd that there is no DBD::Oracle for ActivePerl on Linux. Fortunately we found an old manual under http://www.geocrawler.com/archives/3/279/1999/5/0/1659744/ describing a CPAN method for the built-in Perl of Linux: When CPAN is configured do: /usr/bin/perl -MCPAN -e shell and then: install DBI install DBD::Oracle Whenever being a 1999 documentation, it works even with a recent version of SuSE Linux. Is there any special reason for the absence of DBD::Oracle under ppm of ActivePerl for Linux?
