Hi,
I've started at a new place of work, and have asked for the Perl DBI and DBD to be installed on to the servers for various reasons. These modules are to be installed by another member of staff. The Perl DBI installed correctly but the DBD fails to install with the following message 'invalid top directory at y:/Core/Perl5.8/lib/File/Find.pm line 592.'

The system requirements and complete output is below. 
Oracle client v9.2.0.5
Windows XP SP2
Y: drive is held on a Windows 2003 server.


C:\Temporary\DBD-Oracle-1.17>perl makefile.pl -V 9.2.0

            If sqlplus failed due to a linker/symbol/relocation/librar

 similar problem
            then it's likely that you've not configured your environme

ly.
            Many systems need an environment variable (such as LD_LIBR
+ARY_PATH,
DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH)
            set to include the directory containing the Oracle librari
+es.
