Hello,
 I am really struggling to connect to database, I am not sure how to
ensure that I HAVE DBI sintalled and if not then how to make it activate
it on my machine, I have perl installed but when I give the following
command on my command prompt then 

perl -e 'use DBI; print $DBI::VERSION,"\n";'   it gives following
errorcd c\
Can't find string terminator "'" anywhere before EOF at -e line 1.

Also when I am exccuting a database program it gives the following
highlighted  error, any help on this will be higly appreciated...
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use dbi();
use lib;


my $dbh = dbi->connect('dbi:Oracle:****',
                        '****',
                        '****',
                        {
                          RaiseError => 1,
                          AutoCommit => 0
                        }
                      )|| die "Database connection not made:
$dbi::errstr";
my $sql = qq{ SELECT * FROM tab where rownum<3 };
my $sth = $dbh->prepare( $sql );
$sth->execute();
$dbh->disconnect();
Name "dbi::errstr" used only once: possible typo at C:\seven.pl line 14.
Can't locate object method "connect" via package "dbi" at C:\seven.pl
