Hi,

I am in a bit of a bind here, any help is appreciated.
Basically it goes like this:

I installed DBI on my HP-UX 11.0 system with no problems. DBD was a bit more complicated. After setting all the env variables, I was able to get DBD up by:

perl Makefile.PL LINKTYPE=static
And here is the part that gets me...
The make test works fine, and I've written a few hundred DBI scripts, but I keep getting the following error when I try to connect using the exact syntax from the test.pl script (error):

install_driver(Oracle) failed: Can't locate loadable object for module DBD::Orac le in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.00503/PA-RISC1.1 /usr/local/li b/perl5/5.00503 /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/PA-RISC1.1 /usr/local/lib/p erl5/site_perl/5.005 .) at (eval 1) line 3 Perhaps a module that DBD::Oracle requires hasn't been fully installed at ./connect.pl line 5

This is my script, even the basics don't work here:
#!/usr/local/bin/perl
use DBI;
$dbh = DBI->connect("dbi:Oracle:hostname=myhostnamehere;sid=mysidhere", usernamehere, 'passwordhere', { RaiseError => 1 });
$dbh->disconnect();

The DB I am trying to connect to accepts connections on port 1521(for Oracle, it tries 1526, and then 1521) and I am having no luck.

Has anyone had this happen? If anyone has suggestions or has had any success connecting to an Oracle DB via DBI on HP-UX 11, I would appreciate your insight.

Thanks, and take care,
Frank
