I had been happily plodding along on oracletool 2.0 for that last 2 years (a perl cgi script that interrogates Oracle databases), when I discovered that there was a new version.
So I downloaded and installed that and found that it didn't work, that something that had been added, ora_session_modes in DBD::Oracle required version 1.13 or greater of DBD::Oracle (I had 1.12). After spending a day and a half working out how to get DBD::Oracle 1.16, DBI 1.46 and Perl 5.8.5 compiled up for HP-UX 11.11 and Oracle 9.2.0.5, I was ready to give it a try. When I try to invoke oracletool now (either 2.2 or the saved version 2.0), I'm getting the following perl error: Can't load '/opt/perl5_64/lib/site_perl/5.8.5/PA-RISC2.0-LP64/auto/DBD/Oracle/Oracl e.sl' for module DBD::Oracle: No such file or directory at /opt/perl5_64/lib/5.8.5/PA-RISC2.0-LP64/DynaLoader.pm line 230. at oracletool.pl line 24 Compilation failed in require at oracletool.pl line 24.

This is giving me the same error. Unfortunately I don't know a whole lot about perl or Apache. As another test, I tried to run the example.cgi script mentioned in the above paragraph from the command line, and it's reporting the same message, so I guess that rules out apache. Anyone have ideas as to why this can't load? Thanks Steve Stephen Wales Senior Database Administrator Rio Tinto Services Inc.
