George,
No, I won't give out my phone number and am not in a position to call you
during the day.
I note your path is wrong below, but I can't tell from here if the typo is
in your entry of the mail or your entry of the command. Why don't you cut &
paste what I put in my earlier message to the command prompt. For
refresher, it's:
ppm install ftp://ftp.esoftmatic.com/outgoing/DBI/5.8.3/DBI.ppd
And
ppm install
ftp://ftp.esoftmatic.com/outgoing/DBI/5.8.3/DBD-Oracle.ppd
Jeff

Did you a) check your version of perl? Is it 5.8.0, 5.8.1, 5.8.2, etc?
If you have 5.8.3, for example:
ppm install ftp://ftp.esoftmatic.com/outgoing/DBI/5.8.3/DBI.ppd
ppm install
ftp://ftp.esoftmatic.com/outgoing/DBI/5.8.3/DBD-Oracle.ppd
Etc
Jeff
