in thread DBI AND ORACLE 8

Thanks for the reply. The compile of DBI used the most current client 12c. I want to make it recompile to use the 10g client so I can access my obsolete databases until we can get them upgraded to Oracle 18

    If you're asking how to do this, set the ORACLE_HOME environment variable to to path of the client you wish to build against, then do a manual build:

    perl Makefile.PL gmake gmake test gmake install

    Substitute gmake for the appropriate version for your perl distribution. If you care about the tests consider altering the ORACLE_USERID to an appropriate username/password@database string.

      Thats exactly what I needed. Thank you very much!!
