Or, in the FAQ, see that ftp.esoftmatic.com has a repository for ActiveState perl with binaries for DBD::Oracle. The easiest method for getting DBD-Oracle would be using PPM. For ActiveState Perl 5.8.x or higher there is no officially supported version of DBD-Oracle, however there are some unofficial binary versions of DBD-Oracle that can be installed via PPM. Take a look at: ftp://ftp.esoftmatic.com/outgoing/DBI I found the reference to this binary distribution on the dbi-users mailing list archive at: http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg17787.html To install this PPM, use a command like: ppm install ftp://ftp.esoftmatic.com/outgoing/DBI/DBD-Oracle.ppd The posting recommends using the version of DBI included in this distribution as well, so if you have DBI installed currently you might want to remove it and reinstall it from the ftp.esoftmatic.com site before installing DBD-Oracle. Something similar to the following procedure: 1: ppm uninstall dbi 2: ppm install ftp://ftp.esoftmatic.com/outgoing/DBI/DBI.ppd 3: ppm install ftp://ftp.esoftmatic.com/outgoing/DBI/DBD-Oracle.ppd > > Friday, September 3, 2004, 5:40:32 PM, you wrote: > Iggu> I'm trying to build DBD::oracle on a windows 2000 machine.
