If you want completely hands off Solaris Perl packages, then I think you have just one option, http://www.activestate.com/, which is probably where you got your Perl for Win32 distribution. I would definitely confirm that that AS ships DBD::Oracle with its Solaris port.
Perl, DBI, DBD::Oracle all build under Solaris with gcc which ships with Solaris 8 media kits and available online from sunfreeware.com among other places. John [EMAIL PROTECTED]
