Hmm seems ActiveState did compile the DBD::Oracle against Oracle 7. And none of the other PPM repositories I know of contain the module. I do not have Oracle myself so I can't compile the module myself but if someone compiled the module against Oracle 8 and sends me the Oracle.dll (from c:\perl\site\lib\DBD\Oracle) I can prepare a PPM distro. Jenda P.S.: Well if you tell me what do I have to install to get the headers and libs I need to be able to compile the module I'll try and compile it for you. ===== [EMAIL PROTECTED] === http://Jenda.Krynicky.cz ===== When it comes to wine, women and song, wizards are allowed to get drunk and croon as much as they like. -- Terry Pratchett in Sourcery
