Aloha (I'm jealous of course if you're in Hawaii),
Activestate PERL does not support ORACLE in release 5.8 as far
as I can tell. I am having a real problem with that! Go to their web
site and they'll list the modules supported / failed during their
installation. Oracle is listed as "failed" if I recall correctly. I may
be wrong but I have yet to figure out how to get PERL/Oracle to get on
speaking terms. It's kinda like my ex-wife.
Regards from the East Coast,
Roy

Aloha.
Have just inherited a failed web app. It originally was running on
unix. Then got ported to NT. Then ported to Win2k. Client network
admins recently updated the server and the web application will no
longer connect to the database.
The web server is a WIN2k w/sp4 box running IIS5, Oracle Client 9.2,
ActiveState Perl 5.8.6.811, DBI 1.43, DBD-Oracle 1.16, Oraperl 1.44.
The database is Oracle 7 running on a totally different machine.
The scripts running in the web browser come back with a ORA-1222 invalid
protocol error.
But if I run them from the command prompt, they execute fine.
I found a bit of code that would check all available DBI drivers and
their data sources.
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use DBI;
my @drivers = DBI->available_drivers();
die "No drivers found!\n" unless @drivers; # should never happen
foreach my $driver ( @drivers ) {
print "Driver: $driver\n";
my @dataSources = DBI->data_sources( $driver );
foreach my $dataSource ( @dataSources ) {
print "\tData Source is $dataSource\n";
}
print "\n";
}exit;
When this was run from the command prompt I got
Driver: Oracle
Data Source is DBI:Oracle:Space
Data Source is DBI:Oracle:GSS
When run from the web page all that comes up is
Driver: Oracle
I can not figure out why the web version isnt working correctly.
Pete
