Yikes, ignore the Writeup Formatting Tips and how hideous this looked when it was previewed did we? See How do I post a question effectively?. Which version of Active Stater Perl are you using? I assumed you followed the advice in the output you've given and read the README file? Update: as advised in the README file, see README.wingcc.txt Martin	[reply]

Are you setting these environment variables? `ORACLE_HOME=/usr/somewhere/oracle10g LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib` [download] You could also try installing without `perl -MCPAN -e shell` by downloading the tar ball from CPAN untaring it and installing with ... `# perl Makefile.PL # make # make test # make install` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]
