Hi,
Just to confirm, after downloading the bumper Oracle 9iAS release 2, that this software *is* bundled with Perl 5.6.1 (Oracle compiled not Activestate), DBI version 1.20 and DBD-Oracle version 1.12. Regards, Rob -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, October 17, 2002 11:22 AM To: Rob Leadbeater; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: problem compiling dbd-oracle 1.12 on Thanks, Rob, good information on the links. The software requirements are not useful for me, because I do not want to backport my system to historic software like Studio 5 and NT SP3. My current workaround is using an seperate version of ActivePerl, installing DBI and DBD with PPM and starting every perl script with shebang (#!c:\activePerl/perl/bin ). The pitty is, that this will not use mod_perl, which means that the perl scripts are not run in memory as with mod_perl. Additionaly I will download 9iAS to see wether this is shipped with DBI and DBD. I read in a comment from Oracle support, that it's NOT. Anyway, will send an update after 1.3 GB download.

The bundled Perl is version 5.00503, which was compiled with "cl.exe". I'm not familiar with that, but digging around with Google, I managed to find some release notes for 9iAS release one, which I assume uses the same versions of Perl. These state that you need to have Visual Studio version 5 to compile DBI/DBD-Oracle. Details can be found at: http://157.26.164.60/ias_doc/install_doc/doc/relnotes/relnotes.htm On a better note, the FAQ for Oracle 9iAS release 2, states that DBI/DBD is bundled. http://otn.oracle.com/products/ias/ohs/collateral/r2/ohs-faq-v2-part3.htm (apologies if my mailer splits the URLs up). This could cause fun with Oracle's support, however as Oracle HTTP Server is essentially Apache, it should be relatively simple to compile your own Perl, or use Activestate's version, and then modify the relevant Apache config files to point to that version rather than the bundled Oracle version. Note that I haven't actually done this yet, but it seems a fairly logical thing to do.

But DBD and DBI are not bundled with it. You have to install it yourself. In the Oracle FAQ I read that it's the same with 9iAS. Don't know , why.

Looking at the URL below: http://otn.oracle.com/products/ias/daily/oct04.html appears to suggest that DBI-Oracle is already bundled, or will be soon, so hopefully it won't be required to actually compile it ...

Then you must use the same compile and it's make/nmake equivalent to compile DBI, DBD::Oracle, and any other perl module. Ilya -----Original Message----- From: Knut Herzog To: 'Crown David T.

I installed it with ppm on activeperl and had no problems. But in this case I have to use the perl that is delivered with Oracle Web server - non active Perl. It comes without the ppm and I didn't found a downloadable ppm - only bundles with activeperl. I read in the ppm 2.6 docs, that ppm should only be used with activePerl. Any other hints ?
