Tim, Please forgive the unsolicited email; I noticed your name and was hoping you could answer two questions for me; I have done the google thing, but the pain of my situation is that I am stuck in Malaysia (I am from Silicon Valley) and cannot get access or decent O'Reilly books here. 1. The oracle DBD perl module requires a oracle server up and running to build ( or at least, and I quote, 'enough of the software installed...' ) I was able to build the DBD::mysql without the requirement ( using force admittedly ). Why is this a requirement for Oracle DBD ? 2. Since this is a requirement, can you point me in the right direction for this task: I have a Linux box (Intel Proc) w/ perl, apache, cgi etc. and wish to use this as a front end to an oracle DB running on an RS6000 system. How do I build the DBD::Oracle module on the Linux system in this case ? 3. Is the a decent 'howto' that covers this ? Thank you for your time and assistance in this matter.
