well, I have the oracle 10.2.03 client installed on the machine. (that's what I meant by , oracle client is installed)
Now I am able to install the DBD::ORACLE module. Thanks for the help. But I have new set of problems.
I am trying to run the perl script and it is throwing new set of errors.(given below)
"The procedure entry point Perl_Glookhook_ptr could not be located in +the dynamic link library perl58.dll" install_driver(Oracle) failed: Can't load 'C:/Perl/site/lib/auto/DBD/O +racle/Oracle.dll' for module DBD::Oracle: load_file:The specified pro +cedure could not be found at C:/Perl/lib/DynaLoader.pm line 230. at (eval 3) line 3 Compilation failed in require at (eval 3) line 3. Perhaps a required shared library or dll isn't installed where expecte +d at db_access_pr.prl line 2
I have added Oracle's 10.0.2 bin dir to PATH variable in the machine . Also I have setup ORACLE_HOME environment variable to point to this bin directory.
