Hi all,
I am trying to connect to an Oracle database,
search for an ID defined by some criteria,
and bring that ID back as a string.
So, I've installed SQL::Statement and DBD::Oracle,
and I have written a snippet that looks like this:

#!usr/bin/perl -w
use SQL::Statement;
use DBD::Oracle;
$dbh = DBI->connect("dbi:Oracle:host=hostname;sid=something",username,
+password);
$dbh->do("select ID from study where NAME='$search_string_here'");
print "$dbh\n";
exit;

When I try running it, I get a message that pops up:

The procedure entry point Perl_Clockhook_ptr could not be located in the dynamic link library perl58.dll

And on the command line window, it says:

Compilation failed in require at C:\PlayGround\mysql.pl line 4.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at C:\PlayGround\mysql.pl line 4.

I just want to grab an ID from Oracle!
Any suggestions or help will be greatly appreciated.
