hi, i downloaded strawberry perl and installed...everything works great so far for installing other modules with cpan. It can even build!

however, when trying to install DBD::Oracle this is what i get :

Using DBI 1.601 (for perl 5.010000 on MSWin32-x86-multi-thread) installed in C:/ strawberry/perl/site/lib/auto/DBI/ Configuring DBD::Oracle for perl 5.010000 on MSWin32 (MSWin32-x86-multi-thread) Remember to actually *READ* the README file! Especially if you have any problems . Using Oracle in C:/oracle/ora92 DEFINE _SQLPLUS_RELEASE = "902000100" (CHAR) Oracle version 9.2.0.1 (9.2) OCI directory not found, please install OCI in C:/oracle/ora92 at Makefile.PL li ne 228.

i tried copying oci.dll from C:\oracle\instantclient_11_1\oci.dll but it kept showing the same message. What should i do??
