This probably a dumb question but I'm kinda new to Perl.

I've installed the Oracle DB kit but am getting the above error when I try "use DBI;" + "use DBD::Oracle;"

The full error is :

Can't locate DBD/Oracle.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.0/alpha-dec_osf /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.0 /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0/alpha-dec_osf /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0 /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl .)

Oracle.pm however does exist in one of the above paths...see below :

spatial01:osw_adm$ pwd /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/alpha-dec_osf

spatial01:osw_adm$ ls DBD
ADO.pm ExampleP.pm NullP.pm Oracle.pm Proxy.pm Sponge.pm

Do I have to specify the path somewhere else? Why is perl not finding Oracle.pl?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks.
