Hello, I've only recently subscribed to this list, and I've seen indications here that I've been doing things all wrong (TMTOWTDI notwithstanding). I would like to confirm a few things so that I can endeavour to correct my own mistakes and those of my predecessors. We have a bunch of perl CGI scripts running on Apache Win32 servers, and most of them access an Oracle 8.1.5 database. We have other scripts that generally run on Solaris, which also access the same database. I have successfully used DBD::Oracle in the Solaris scripts. Running similar scripts on Win32 from the command line works as well, some of the time. The problem is when I try to use DBD::Oracle from the CGI scripts in Win32. To get around these problems, I have used ODBC instead, which has often been problematic because of problems binding output parameters. What I want to know is this: is it possible to use DBD::Oracle (or DBD::Oracle8 for that matter) on Win32 Apache perl CGIs? I suspect that it is, but I've never been able to get it to work. I have these fairly ugly workarounds, but I'm not happy with them. Surely I'm doing something wrong, or have something misconfigured somewhere. Sorry, but I haven't got any error output at this time. I've had multiple problems, and I've worked around them, so I have nothing specific on hand. Thanks in advance, _________________________________ Rob Meyer
