egzo has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi, I am using Windows Xp and ActivePerl-5.10.1 and I am trying to connect to an Oracle database like this:
my $dbh = DBI->connect("dbi:Oracle:dezv", $user, $pass) or die "Couldn't connect to database: " . DBI->errstr;
and I get this error:
install_driver(Proxy) failed: Can't locate RPC/PlClient.pm in @INC (@I +NC contains: perl C:/Perl/site/lib C:/Perl/lib .) at C:/Perl/lib/DBD/ +Proxy.pm line 29. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at C:/Perl/lib/DBD/Proxy.pm line 29. Compilation failed in require at (eval 23) line 3. Perhaps a module that DBD::Proxy requires hasn't been fully installed
Do I have to install any module or package?
