Hi,

I have installed Activeperl from on my PC(Win98). I able to connect to Access database. But I unable to connect to oracle. I am trying to connect to personal oracle8 installed on my computer. Here is the code I have used to connect to oracle: 

use DBI; 
$dbh = DBI->connect("dbi:Oracle:", "scott","tiger") || die "Unale to c
+onnect to oracle.  $DBI::errstr\n";

[download]
When I run the script the following error I am getting: 
C:\ActivePerl\examples>perl conn_oracle.pl
install_driver(Oracle) failed: Can't load 'C:/ActivePerl/site/lib/auto
+/DBD/Oracl
e/Oracle.dll' for module DBD::Oracle: load_file:One of the library fil

to run this application cannot be found at C:/ActivePerl/lib/DynaLoade
+r.pm line
200.
 at (eval 1) line 3
Compilation failed in require at (eval 1) line 3.
Perhaps a required shared library or dll isn't installed where expecte

Can someone pl. help me?
