trouble installing Class::DBI::Loader::Oracle

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

Folks,

While trying to install Class::DBI::Loader::Oracle, make test fails with the following message:

root@devserver-165# make test

I read the README for this module and have the dependencies installed as well as ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_USERID set. Can somebody please shed some light?

Thanks,

You may want to consider using a different module. Here are a couple of red flags: CPAN Testers report no passing tests. Here is a quote from the Class::DBI::Loader::Oracle POD: "This module needs a new maintainer, because I no longer use Class::DBI and have no further interest in maintaining this module." Of course, you are encouraged to fight through these issues and adopt the module as your own. That will require you to understand the Makefile and the Perl source code for the module.	[reply]

`t/00-load.t ....... Dubious, test returned 1 (wstat 256, 0x100) t/01-basic.t ...... ok t/pod-coverage.t .. skipped: Test::Pod::Coverage 1.04 required for tes +ting POD coverage t/pod.t ........... ok` [download] You'll notice t/01-basic.t was not skipped, and it passed all tests. So you can ignore the failure of 00-load.t, and force install Class::DBI::Loader::Oracle. If you compare t/01-basic.t and t/00-load.t , you can see that missing from Class/DBI/Loader/Oracle.pm is `use DBD::Oracle; use Class::DBI::Oracle; use Class::DBI::Loader;` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]
