The .dll file may need to be re-registered. Try doing the following, and adapt for your particular flavor of Windows:
Win9x/NT: 1) Go to Start, Find, Files or Folders. 2) In the Named field, type: regsvr32.exe, Oracle.dll. 3) In the Look In field, make sure it is set to root C: 4) Click Find Now. 5) 2 files should be found (more than one regsvr32 may be found, but we will be interested in the one in the Windows\System Directory. 6) Drag the Oracle.dll icon on top of the regsvr32.exe icon. You should get a message saying that the register succeeded. 7) To ensure that everything is loaded properly, reboot the computer, and then see if you still get the same error message again. Let me know if that helps, R.A.

I have installed the following components in my PC. 1. Oracle 8i client 2. ActivePerl 5.6.1.630 3. DBI using ppm3 4. DBD-Oracle using ppm3 I can do tnsping to the Oracle Server and also connect to it using sqlplus session. But when I connect to Oracle Server using a small perl program, it gives the following error. ------------------ install_driver(Oracle) failed: Can't load 'C:/Perl/site/lib/auto/DBD/Oracle/Orac le.dll' for module DBD::Oracle: load_file:One of the library files needed to run this application cannot be found at C:/Perl/lib/DynaLoader.pm line 206. at (eval 1) line 3 Compilation failed in require at (eval 1) line 3. Perhaps a required shared library or dll isn't installed where expected at a1.pl line 5 ------------------ The Oracle.dll which the error mentions is present in the required directory. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Yegi __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Send FREE video emails in Yahoo!
