I was under the assumption that the DBI module was installed.
When I do:
perldoc DBI
I get the docs for DBI

But when I try to use DBI I get an error...
Can't locate DBI.pm in @INC (@INC contains:

/opt/perl64/lib/site_perl/5.8.8 /opt/perl64/lib/site_perl .) at test2

My path points to /usr/bin/perl.
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root sys 20 Nov 20 11:56 /usr/bin/perl ->

How can I tell if it is installed, or do I still need to install this.
Do I also need the oracle driver?

You tell us. You said you installed it. Did you or didn't you?

You said you got the docs for DBI. I presume this means you used
perldoc to find them? You can ask perldoc for the location of the
module...

perldoc -l DBI

If that fails, the obvious way to search for it is to actually try to
`find` it:

find / -name DBI.pm

If it's found, but
perl -MDBI -e1
still gives an error, then your PERL5LIB variable is probably not set
correctly. Update it to include the path of DBI.pm as found from your
`find` command.

And no, DBD::Oracle is not included with DBI. You'll have to install
it separately. Have a read of:
perldoc perlmodinstall
