Thanks Ken.
Why the CPAN Oracle driver (http://search.cpan.org/~timb/DBD-Oracle-1.15/) then for other Unix platforms? Is it just a issue for Windows platform? I always thought the Oracle client software was free and since this DBD driver is built from that it also should by free. It's the Oracle database that makes the money.

I don't believe a binary distribution can be made available because of Oracle's restrictive licensing on the Oracle client libraries. This has been a major sore point. If memory serves, ActiveState was trying to work with Oracle on a license change so that it could be distributed via PPM. I assume that they've had no luck so far...

Can anyone tell me where I can get the DBD Oracle driver for DBI built for Perl V5.8.0? I found it on CPAN but not in any PPM repositories.
Many thanks!
