Hi Monks,

Iīm just starting in Perl, so I donīt any experience how to develop and how is the flow of the code.

What Iīm trying to do is: Connect my MySQL database to an Oracle database.

I need to do a SELECT from MySQL and get the data from Oracle.

I find a tutorial that shows that this is possible: http://ftp.nchu.edu.tw/MySQL/tech-resources/articles/dbixmyserver.html

But, as I said, I donīt have experience how to develop. So, I have in my Windows machine the following:

a) padre-on-strawberry

b) DBD-Oracle-1.74.tar.gz

c) ActivePerl-5.20.1.2000-MSWin32-x86

d) DBI-1.633.tar

e) DBD-mysql-4.029.tar.gz (this, i cannot install. Got the error: mysqladmin.exe was not found in your PATH).

What I think that I have to do now, is to configure the proxy. I tried to open Padre, paste this code: use DBI 

$dbh = DBI->connect('dbi:Oracle:host=172.16.90.220;sid=WEBDB;port=1521
+', 'CEP', 'a423pa');

and run the Script, but I got the error: "No execution mode was defined for this doecument type:text/plain"
