When you upgrade to Perl 5.8.x, you have to reinstall any modules that are not 'pure Perl'. (i.e. any modules that come with files other than the .pm file)
Try uninstalling and reinstalling DBD::Oracle. As a matter of fact, I might even suggest that you might want to uninstall Perl altogether and then install Perl 5.8.x and download your modules. -----Original Message----- From: Laurie Vien [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, March 08, 2004 1:06 PM To: 'Hardy Merrill'; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Trying to make DBI work for me Thanks, Hardy. I did "perl -V"; I have Perl V5.8.0 installed. And when you say "Oracle client", do you mean DBD-Oracle.ppd? If so, yes, I installed it with the following results (which is weird because it says it's installed in ActivePerl 5.6.1.633, but I have V5.8.0 ...): C:\Perl>ppm install ftp://ftp.esoftmatic.com/outgoing/DBI/5.8.2/DBD-Oracle.ppd Note: Package 'ftp://ftp.esoftmatic.com/outgoing/DBI/5.8.2/DBD-Oracle.ppd' is already installed. ==================== Install 'DBD-Oracle' version 1.15 in ActivePerl 5.6.1.633. ==================== Successfully installed DBD-Oracle version 1.15 in ActivePerl 5.6.1.633.
