Hi,

I see that you are running under Windows. I have the same situation at work, here we use several perl programs to acess a Oracle Database.


But i use activestate perl (http://www.activestate.com/Products/ActivePerl/)

With the activestate perl modules installed (dbi and dbd-oracle) that were compiled and tested by activestate.


Under windows i sugest that you DO NOT attempt to compile perl modules.

Simply download activestate perl (it's free), download the activestate dbi and dbd-oracle modules (also free) and installed them all.
PS: to install perl modules in activestate perl you need to use the ppm utility


Hope this helps you out Migas - Miguel
