DBD::Oracle Perl Module for HPUX 11.11

[Ashish Jain]

I have installed 64 bit perl from Merjin's Website.( Its a fantastic site .Excellent work "Procura"). I am getting the following error while executing a perl script. Would appreciate your insights.

install_driver(Oracle) failed: Can't locate DBD/Oracle.pm in @INC (@INC contains
: /app/arbor/arbpcs3/bin /opt/perl64/lib/5.8.0/PA-RISC2.0-LP64 /opt/perl64/lib/5

Perhaps the DBD::Oracle perl module hasn't been fully installed,
or perhaps the capitalisation of 'Oracle' isn't right.
Available drivers: CSV, ExampleP, File, Metadata, Proxy.

Indeed,

This means you don't have the module. The module is called Oracle.pm and you should be able to get in
from CPAN.

Hi,

What errors are you getting when you attempt to compile the module. Seems a lot of people are having trouble with this.

See this posting

Also, you might want to take a look at this

Sorry I keep getting those funny characters in my URL's. I think my cut and paste technique is deserting me. Please edit out the funny bits at the start!

?? My name is with 'ij', not with 'ji'. OK, it's Dutch, and most of you cannot pronounce it anyway :)

?? As explained many times before, DBD::Oracle is *not* included in the perl distro's because it is impossible to make one that fit's to all Oracle installations around. I've already included DBI-recent, and built perl to accomodate DBD::Oracle's needs, which is about all I can do to help the poor Oracle users.

?? *If* you ask for a precompiled DBD::Oracle, at least tell us /where/ you have installed /what/ version of this silly product. (You guessed right. I do *not* like Oracle)

Enjoy, have FUN! H.Merijn
