DBD::Oracle errors installing

bayareamonk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Using Strawberry Perl (5.18.1) on Windows 7 64-bit I installed DBI successfully, but to connect to Oracle it says I need DBD::Oracle. When I run "install DBD::Oracle from the cpan command I get errors:

cpan> install DBD::Oracle
prerequisite module[B] not known
Running install for module 'DBD::Oracle'
Running make for P/PY/PYTHIAN/DBD-Oracle-1.66.tar.gz
  Has already been unwrapped into directory C:\strawberry\cpan\build\D
+BD-Oracle-1.66-fdWKfR
  'C:\strawberry\perl\bin\perl.exe Makefile.PL' returned status 512, w
+on't make
Running make test
  Make had some problems, won't test
Running make install
  Make had some problems, won't install
prerequisite module[B] not known

I have no idea what "moduleB is.

I was able to fix this issue by removing the Oracle 12c InstantClient and using the Oracle 11g InstantClient	[reply]
