Tim, Attached is my patch for building DBD::Oracle 1.12 on Win32. This patch simply extends the current logic to look for the "default" home in the registry (Used 8.1.7 with a single home and multiple homes to test and 9.2 with multiple homes). My problem was that I was transferring a bunch of stuff to a new laptop and install Oracle 9i R2 first, then Oracle 9i Dev suite (9iDS) and set the default home using the Oracle Home selector to the 9iR2 DB home. Makefile.PL, however, picked up the 9iDS home which doesn't contain the OCI. The logic here is to try to use the "default" Oracle home and ensure it has an OCI directory. If the registry key doesn't exist or the OCI directory doesn't exist, then the current logic is used. This only affects the Win32 build in function win32_oracle_home.
