Sorry Michael, I am just hitting reply.
The OS is RH 8.0 - Apache Server The goal is to port an ancient FoxPro db to the net via perl cgi. DBD::xBase seems like a natural but I am not opposed to porting the data to a different format to improve it's usability. My time with perl has been limited (no kidding). I keep fearing that I am slipping down a rabbit hole. There is something very fundamental to adding the DBI-DBD module I am missing. I'll surf around some more before I waste anymore bandwidth.

Please keep the replies on list. I am not the sole source of all wisdom. Search for perl-dbi and perl-dbd-oracle in rpmfind. http://www.rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/ It would be easier to help if you tell us ahead of time what OS, RDBMS, and versions you are using.
