Thanks for the quick response. Well I am running into the following problem when I am using PREFIX and LIB: perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/apps/adsm/perldbt LIB=/apps/adsm/perldbt/lib
Can't open PREFIX=/apps/adsm/perldbt: No such file or directory at Makefile.PL l ine 24. Can't open LIB=/apps/adsm/perldbt/lib: No such file or directory at Makefile.PL line 24. I checked the permissions all the way thru and gave 777 permissions, it got back with same error. Is this a problem with my Makemaker? Also I am unable to set any variables like CC =gcc. I had to manually change everything in Makefile to install locally, but was just wondering what could be the problem? Thanks in advance.

They are basically perl modules, but they also have components written in C; you need to copy the accompanying .so files (DBI.so and Oracle.so) to the right place as well. You're probably better off just rebuilding them from CPAN with the appropriate PREFIX and LIB options to place them where you want. Cheers, Tyler
