Pascal, If you are using a newer version of AS Perl (greater than 5.6.x), AS will not have a good working version of DBI or DBD::Oracle. You should install as follows:
ppm install ftp://ftp.esoftmatic.com/outgoing/DBI/5.8.3/DBI.ppd ppm install ftp://ftp.esoftmatic.com/outgoing/DBI/5.8.3/DBD-Oracle.ppd You should be good to go after this. -- Ron Reidy Lead DBA Array BioPharma, Inc. -----Original Message----- From: Pascal VILTARD [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, October 26, 2005 7:37 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Installation DBD Hello, I have an Oracle 9iR2 , ActivePerl 5.8.7.
