DBI requires the use of the appropriate DBD driver being installed as a
prerequisite. Which DBD::* module are you using for your test? DBD::CSV
depends upon a few other modules being installed, like SQL::Statement and
one other that escapes my recollection. DBD::Oracle itself can be a
challenge to build and install, because it depends upon how Oracle is
configured on your system, and you have to build liboci.a and stuff it in
the right place (in your lib path). And DBD::ODBC offers its own challenges.
BTW - what were the compilation errors? Try "perl -c -w test.pl" and see
what it suggests.
