I have found it helpful to add `DBD::ODBC`. This is much slower than a native Oracle driver might be, but at least it will get you connected and testing while you work at finding and using a good Oracle-native module.

What error messages are you seeing? Do you have permission to access the Oracle libraries? Have you set the environment properly (eg $ORACLE_HOME, $ORACLE_SID etc)? Have you tried using SQL*Plus from the same account that you are installing DBD::Oracle? rdfield	[reply]

The more recent releases of DBD::Oracle offer a README.hpux file. More to the point, I got Perl 5.004xx/Oracle 716/HPUX 10.20 working by doing the static link thing described in one of the READMEs. DBD::Oracle 1.06, DBI 1.1x. All that is lacking now is some pithy saying about old sw to sum up the situation.	[reply]
