DBD Modules for Perl

Phil Storer — Wed, 15 Oct 2003 21:05:01 GMT

Can anyone supply me with a Perl binary that has ben compiled with DBI-1.32 (or later) and DBD-Oracle-1.12 (or later). Version of Perl should be 5.6.1 or later.

Basically I'm having big problems trying to recompile for a number of obscure reasons.

Can you send to my email address

ken.woolard@originenergy.com.au

thanks in advance

Yes,
try the perl 5.8 at this site
https://www.beepz.com/personal/merijn/
you'll get DBI 1.38 for 11.11/64 bit

Thanks Rajeev. I do have these modules but it's trying to recompile the perl source code to include these modules. I've followed all the advice on how to do this but I reckon there's something amiss on my system hence the need for a already compiled perl binary that include these modules...

Ok,
Did you try the perl5.8.0 depot at HPUX Software site below.
http://hpux.connect.org.uk/hppd/hpux/Languages/perl-5.8.0/
This has DBD and DBI inbuilt but am not sure what version they are.

Give a try and see if that helps

Thanks once again Rajeev. I've downloaded the depot file and installed it succesfully. But how do I find out if the modules are actually there.

I've tried a perl -V. Should the modules be listed under the @INC line. Looking at this line I see no description of these DB modules.

perl -V will not show, to see if these modules are there or not,
do
swlist -l file|grep DBI.pm
swlist -l file |grep DBD.pm

i could see both these modules. But to test, surprisingly when i used
use DBI;
use DBD;
in a perl script.
The DBI module is fine but DBD doesn't get loaded, but i guess you give a try in you'r script coz seeing at this location i have seen that you can access the oracle database using DBI.

Hi

The one from the Porting Center has n't got anything in relation to "Oracle" at all.I belive merijn is doing something in that line.

In general what problem do you have when you try to compile from the source??

Obviously, you can't include some of the modules into perl source code ( because of the dependency issues ) , But you should be able to compile the source and add the modules later.

Using whatever perl prebuild binary, either from me or anyone else, installing a module should never require you te rebuild perl.

No-one's distribution will include a DBD-Oracle. The reasons are obvious and explained on my site.

My distro includes a recent DBI. The 5.8.1 ports I recently uploaded include the currently most recent DBI-1.38

Reading this thread, I have not got the faintest idea what part is failing for you.

The only thing I can come up with, is that you are somehow not using the perl you just installed, but fallback to an old version still hanging around earlier in your $PATH.

Please check with 'perl -v' or 'perl -V' if the version you installed is the same as what you expect(ed).

Enjoy, have FUN! H.Merijn
