in reply to DBD-Oracle for ActiveState Perl 5.8

Another option is to download the .NET SDK. You can then install DBD::Oracle using CPAN.

    Hi! Can you expand on this option? I have the .NET SDK, but I keep on running into errors where it can't find include files (such as windows.h), and I have to add all kinds of things to my path. I'm trying to get a more recent version of DBD::Oracle to work with ActiveState build 635 so that I can use "INSERT ... VALUES ... RETURNING" statements...

      When I wrote this, I had Visual Studio installed. To work with the .NET SDK only, you also need to install the "Platform SDK". A quick Google search finds the Platform SDK at http://www.microsoft.com/msdownload/platformsdk/sdkupdate/ . The Microsoft site, of course, is picky about using IE, so use it to access this site.
