Have you considered ActivePerl instead? This works fine for the Orac program, with the DBI, DBD-Oracle and Tk packages, available from PPM. For more information on ActiveState's ActivePerl, and PPM, try: => http://www.activestate.com/Products/ActivePerl => http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Downloads/ActivePerl/PPM/ Alternatively, for Win32, there's Cygwin. I _think_ they've just released a Perl/Tk package for Cygwin, which I haven't tried out just yet. But Perl comes as a package with Cygwin, and you can install DBI and DBD-Oracle direct from the CPAN packages! :-) For more on Cygwin: => http://www.cygwin.com/ HTH a bit. Good luck! 8-) Rgds, AndyD ===== Make Someone Happy.
