Re: New to PERL and Need Help

Once you get the AS PERL working, use ppm or ppm3 (Perl Package Manager) to 
get DBI/DBD modules (DBD::Oracle) on your system. Connect and you're on 
your way. There is a book on this subject that will help,

I've always found this link to help describe the length of the tunnel...

can update at that time.

Any help with books for beginners or web sites will be greatly 
appreciated.  Keep it very simple.

Thanks much,

Go grab ActiveState's Perl port for windows at
http://www.activestate.com/Products/Download/Download.plex?id=ActivePerl
if you haven't done so already. You'll want the MSI package.

Once you've got it on your HD, open the installation
directory in the Explorer, find the HTML folder and
double click on index.html. Bookmark this page; it's 
your complete Perl documentation.

Search in the right pane for perlfaq2 and click it.
There's a list of recommended books on that page.

HTH,
Thomas

I am new to the world of PERL and need help to get started.  I have the book: "PERL 
for Oracle DBA's".  But this has not helped me get started.  My background is Oracle 
as a DBA.  I have a good background with SQL*Plus and PL/SQL.  On my home PC I have XP 
Prof. and Oracle 9.2.  My Oracle supports PERL but I cannot get it to work.  It is not 
the latest release of PERL, but that is not a problem.  When I can get it to work I
