Re: DBD::Oracle issues



The easiest way to install cpan perl modules is to use ppm (whcih comes
with the PERL interpreter). It will automatically download and install
any dependant modules that the module you are interested in needs.


On a computer with an internet connection, open a command line
interpreter window and key:

ppm

you should see:

PPM - Programmer's Package Manager version 3.4.
Copyright (c) 2001 ActiveState Software Inc. All Rights Reserved.

Entering interactive shell. Using Term::ReadLine::Perl as readline
library.

Type 'help' to get started.



At the ppm prompt, key "search" followed by the first part of the
module name you are looking for (do NOT include ::)

search dbd

ppm> search dbd

---line 24/27 (any key for more, or q to quit)---

Look for the module you are interested in.
In this case, it is item 16 in the list.
The name that appears is the name you should use to install the module.

At the ppm prompt, key "install DBD-Oracle"

ppm install DBD-Oracle


To quit ppm, type "exit" at the ppm prompt.
