Hi I don't know wether you already solved your problem, but I had to tweak PPM3 to use a local directory. Then, downloaded the modules I need and installed them from there.

Jared "Jeffrey Beckstrom" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 03/11/2003 06:34 AM Please respond to ORACLE-L To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> cc: Subject: perl 5.8 access to oracle Just installed Perl 5.8. Ran ppm3 to install the DBD package and PPM couldn't find it. I looked at activeperl site, it stated dbd for Oracle failed. I have now installed perl 5.6 and can find dbd/dbi files. With Perl 5.8, are you supposed to use something other than dbd/dbi to access an Oracle database?
