You missed all the dependencies of DBI. CPAN is your friend. Download and install CPAN-1.76_01.tar.gz the same way you got and installed DBI (tar xvfz, perl Makefile.PL, make, make test, make install). Then, # perl -MCPAN -e shell; You probably want to cpan> install Bundle::CPAN next, and let it install all its dependencies. After that, the command 'cpan' will work from the system prompt. Its been awhile since I had to do it from scratch, so feel free to play and/or correct me.
After CPAN is installed and configured, you want to cpan> install Bundle::DBI and let it install all the dependencies, too. Then, cpan> install DBD::Oracle That should get you started. There's lots of resources on the net for using CPAN. Be sure to actually READ the docs. This was alot gentler than the introduction I received on CPAN, but it really doesn't belong on the DBI list.
