Ok, I followd the docs, but ran into a new problem. We are using a product
'Interwoven' that installs a version of perl that I was told was using
ActiveState Perl. After following the docs, I realized that this is not
true. Now the question would be, how do I install the DBD::Oracle on a
Windows 2000 system not running ActiveState Perl?
Thanks,
