    Yes, DBD is installed, and we thought we installed all the necessary Oraclient libs. I was hoping based on the error, someone might now what we missed, or need to change.

      Those two issues are the usual ones. Also - are you using the same Perl as the one you used to install DBD::Oracle? Did you use the same C-compiler when install DBD::Oracle as the one used to compile Perl?

      Another question - what do you get when you type in: 

      perl -MDBD::Oracle -e 'print DBD::Oracle->VERSION, $/'

        Thanks for you help! Yes, getting everything compiled, in the correct order with a decent compiler fixed our problem.
