in reply to DBI/DBD Oracle setup problem -- missing entry point?!?

When did you install DBI/DBD::Oracle? What versions are they? What version of Oracle was installed when you installed them?

Then there are Damian modules.... *sigh* ... that's not about being less-lazy -- that's about being on some really good drugs -- you know, there is no spoon. - flyingmoose

I shouldn't have to say this, but any code, unless otherwise stated, is untested

    Oracle has been running on the box for a while (I'm not the DB guy so I'm not sure exactly when it was installed, but 9i should be the only version ever on that box). I downloaded and installed Perl from ActiveState on Friday. I chose 5.6 over 5.8 b/c it has some modules precompiled that 5.8 didn't. I downloaded and installed DBI and DBD::Oracle from CPAN Monday. 
    perl -e use DBI; use DBD::Oracle; print DBI->VERSION; print "\n"; prin
+t DBD::Oracle->VERSION;'

    [download]
    outputs

    1.37
    1.06

      That's pretty funny, seeing as DBI is at 1.43 and DBD::Oracle is at 1.15. I would strongly recommend upgrading (if you can find a pre-compiled version somewhere). That may be your issue. I'm not completely positive, but I don't think 1.06 had full Oracle9i support. I haven't used 9i with anything lower than 1.12 (or so).

      Just to give you an idea, according the DBD::Oracle Changes file, 1.06 was released on July 14, 2000. 9.0.1.0 was released sometime in 2002.

        Hmmm so I may have an issue with the CPAN module. If it is not downloading the most current version something is whacked.
