Hello monks,

I was able to install the Perl DBI and DBD::Oracle drivers from CPAN. But for some reason when I try to use DBD::Oracle I get the following error:

[db07-dc2:~] root% ./dbitest.pl 
install_driver(Oracle) failed: Can't locate DBD/Oracle.pm in @INC (@IN
+C contains: /usr/perl5/5.8.4/lib/sun4-solaris-64int /usr/perl5/5.8.4/

Perhaps the DBD::Oracle perl module hasn't been fully installed,
or perhaps the capitalisation of 'Oracle' isn't right.
Available drivers: DBM, ExampleP, File, Gofer, Proxy, Sponge.

This is the test script that I am trying to run:

#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;
use DBI;

my $ORACLE_HOME = "/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0.4";
my $ORACLE_SID="qaecom1";
my $USER="user";
my $PASS="password";

$ENV{ORACLE_HOME}=$ORACLE_HOME;
$ENV{ORACLE_SID}=$ORACLE_SID;
$ENV{PATH}="$ORACLE_HOME/bin";
$ENV{LD_LIBRARY_PATH}="$ORACLE_HOME/lib";


use strict;
use DBI;
my $dbh = DBI->connect( 'dbi:Oracle:qaecom1',
                        '$USER',
                        '$PASS',
                      ) || die "Database connection not made: $DBI::er
+rstr";
$dbh->disconnect;

According to CPAN the DBD Oracle driver is up to date: 
cpan> install DBD::Oracle
CPAN: Storable loaded ok
Going to read /homedir/.cpan/Metadata

DBD::Oracle is up to date.

It looks to me like the DBD is installed in this path: 
[db07-dc2:~] root% ls -l /usr/perl5/site_perl/5.8.4/sun4-solaris-64int
+/ | grep DBD
drwxr-xr-x   4 root     root         512 Dec 12 15:50 DBD

Although if I ls that directory I don't see anything pertaining to Oracle there:
