I am trying to install DBD-oracle after installing activestate perl 5.8.4 and dbi 1.6 and dbd-odbc 1.15 in XP pro desktop. Now when I install dbd-oracle 1.17 I am getting this error
C:\Perl>ppm install DBD-Oracle.ppd ==================== Install 'DBD-Oracle' version 1.17 in ActivePerl 5.8.4.810. ==================== Can't locate ./ioic in @INC (@INC contains: C:/Perl/lib C:/Perl/site/l +ib .) at install_script line 1.

the ppd file is attached below

This I downloaded from cpan. I removed the linux part and ran only the win32 part in the above file.
I don't have internet access from this machine , so have to install in standalone mode.
Any suggestions??
