This may or may not work depending on which version of Perl that you install.
If you installed Perl 5.8, you can't install DBD::Oracle from ActiveState.
ActiveState seems to be in a bit of disarray in this regard. There are numerous
modules for which I have had to hack the PM so that I could install them.
Some I just could not install at all. I think it was the Crypt::RC4 module that I
recently had to install from CPAN source on Windows, this due to using Perl 5.8.
The ppm.activestate.com site has a list of modules that have passed testing
for 5.8, but many are not available via PPM.
I try to do as much admin work from linux as is possible, and avoid the Windoze pain.

Hi Mladen
Jared and Andy's book "Perl for Oracle DBA's" has an excellent chapter
all about getting DBD and DBI and installing from source and binary.
basically for ActiveState you can use the "ppm" utility run it from a
DOS window and type
c:\> ppm
ppm> install DBI
ppm> install DBD-Oracle8
Jared's book shows DBD-Oracle8, i guess it should be Oracle9 now?
hth
kind regards
Pete
