You can install it using the ppm utility, like this... In command prompt...
ppm install http://www.xmlproj.com/PPM/DBI-1_20.ppd and then after it installs DBI... ppm install http://www.xmlproj.com/PPM/DBD-Oracle-1_12.ppd I don't have the latest version 1.21 of DBI up, but this one is just a version lower. I'll have it up sometime this weekend. See the ppm docs for more information on how to install other modules. Remember you must also have the Oracle client libs installed on your pc in order for this to work, and ORACLE_HOME must be set. You can also use DBD::ODBC to connect to your oracle database, to install just say... ppm install DBD::ODBC Once installed, you'll have to read the docs. Also this link http://xmlproj.dyndns.org/dbi/faq.html might be helpful.

I have to learn Perl and how to connect Perl with Oracle Database. I am working with a Windows 2000, I've installed the ActivePerl and a web-server, the OmniHTTPD. It's everything ok with trivials cgi scripts, i.e., when I send data by a html form and I have a script cgi Perl that handles the data posted, everithing occurs ok. And I can run Perl scripts by a prompt too. Now, I need to connect my script with a Oracle Database, to generate dinamic html getting data from tables. I know that I have to install DBI and DBD::Oracle, but I don't know how to do it, and I didn't find any windows 2000 version on any. Can somebody help me? Where do I get the both DBI and DBD::Oracle for Windows, and how I configure it? Thanks. -------------- Adriano Sastre Vieira Especialista em Sistemas Jr Inatel Competence Center - www.inatel.br mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] 35 3471 9335
