When I try ( $dbh = DBI->connect($dbSID,$dbUser,$dbPassword) ) or die DBI->errstr;
I get a pop-up stating this error "The procedure entry point Perl_Glockhook_ptr could not be located in the dynamic link library perl58.dll" What I see on the command prompt is the following "install_driver(Oracle) failed: Can't load 'C:/Perl/site/lib/auto/DBD/Oracle/Oracle.dll' for module DBD::Oracle: load_file:The specified procedure could not be found at C:/Perl/lib/DynaLoader.pm line 230. at (eval 1678) line 3 Compilation failed in require at (eval 1678) line 3. Perhaps a required shared library or dll isn't installed where expected at C:\Perl\test.pl line 43" A similar problem was reported earlier and the suggested resolution was to download the ppm's from a site that doesn't let me in (esoftmatic.com) so I'm not sure how to proceed at this point. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Perl 8.1.7 build 815 DBI 1.52 DBD-Oracle 1.17 Oracle Client 9.2.0.1 Windows 2000 5.00.2195 SP4 Thanks, Amir.
