Dear perl monks, I am getting this error running active perl on WinXP, note my oracle client is working and I can connect to specified data base through sqlplus, I will appreciate your help: install_driver(Oracle) failed: Can't load 'D:/Perl/site/lib/auto/DBD/Oracle/Orac le.dll' for module DBD::Oracle: load_file:The specified procedure could not be f ound at D:/Perl/lib/DynaLoader.pm line 230. at (eval 63) line 3 Compilation failed in require at (eval 63) line 3. Perhaps a required shared library or dll isn't installed where expected

use DBI;

$ENV{ORACLE_HOME} = 'C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\client_1'; #or whatever
$ENV{LD_LIBRARY_PATH} = 'C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\client_1\LIB'; #or w

my $dbh = DBI->connect( 'dbi:Oracle:EAORA10G',
                        'JdoeJd',

Perl can't find the compiled portion of DBD::Oracle. The module is not properly installed. Try again.	[reply]

Windows searches the PATH environment variable to look for dlls; try `C:\> set PATH=C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\client_1\LIB;%PATH%` [download] (assuming the dlls are in `C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\client_1\LIB`).	[reply] [d/l]

Setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH (and LD_RUN_PATH) like this does not accomplish what you want. Either set them in the environment and then invoke the script or see (tye)Re: programatically setting the LD_LIBRARY_PATH. -derby	[reply]

Setting LD_PATH on win32 doesn't accomplish anything period. LD is for nix.	[reply]
