You will need to build DBI and DBD::Oracle to get the functionality. The POD in Oraperl.pm (http://search.cpan.org/dist/DBD-Oracle/Oraperl.pm) shows how to use the Oraperl module. The bigest change for Oracle access is adding 'use Oraperl;' to the top of the script. If you have still been using Perl4, you may have more problems with perl4isms that don't work well in Perl5. My usual caveat applies, any new development should use DBI directly. -- Mac :}) ** I usually forward private questions to the appropriate mail list. ** Ask Smarter: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html Give a hobbit a fish and he eats fish for a day.
