Ron, I could be way off here, but the OP may(?) already have Perl
installed on his Solaris systsem - he may just need DBD::Oracle. I
think the original issue was that he tried to use *PPM* to install
DBD::Oracle - is that right Vivekananda? I don't have any Solaris
experience, but if this is the case, he probably just needs to download
the DBD::Oracle .tar.gz, read the README(is there a readme for Solaris?)
and build it.

I just wanted to throw this out there as a possibility, before going
down the download and install Perl road ;-)

Sure.

1. Download perl from http://www.perl.com
2. Unpack (tar xvzf stable.tar.gz)
3. Read the README file

After you have built and installed Perl, google "install perl modules
using cpan"

Remeber, **ALWAYS** read the README* files for all modules before you
install them or if you have problems/issues during the make/make
test/make install phases.

Hi Reidy
Thanks for the advice!!!
But I have never build perl,DBI and DBD before.
Can you kindly let me know 'the process of building perl,DBI and DBD'.

You will need (I think) to build Perl from scratch.  Check which C
compiler was used to build Perl.  If it is not the C compiler you have
on your system, you will need to build it yourself.  After that you
will
need to build DBI and DBD::Oracle yourself.

Thanks Jeff!!!
Yes you were right ...I installed DBI from Active State's site
earlier.
Can you kindly let me know a place where I can get DBD-Oracle for
solaris 8 and perl 5.6 using PPM??? Please help me in this regard.
Thanks again!!

The esoftmatic.com (my) site only supplies binaries for Win32, not
Solaris and not for
Perl 5.6.
You will need to build DBD-Oracle yourself.  I believe, before, you
used
PPM to install
DBI from ActiveState's site, not from my site.  That would explain why
you are having
issues.

Jeff
