Cannot find DBD-Oracle.ppd

Follow-up from yesterday.

I still need some basic help and thanks so much for all the help so far. I am
running Windows XP Pro and using Perl version 5.8.4

I have been told that I need the following files from ftp.esoftmatic.com for
Oracle 9i:
DBI.ppd
DBI-1.45-5.8.4.tar.gz
DBD-Oracle9-1.16-5.8.4.tar.gz
DBD-Oracle9.ppd

I am not sure how to install these files. I have only used the ppm to install
modules.

If I upgrade the DBI do I have to upgrade the MySql version I am using also? I
am currently using the one dated 7/13/2004.

I am currently running quite a few production programs and I do not want to
jepardize their running.

Thanks again for all the help, but could someone please help me a little more,
Larry

I am a Perl newbie. I have interfaced to a MySql database quite a bit with
Perl and have had no problem, but I have now been asked to interface with an
Oracle database.

When I try and install the Oracle DBI by "ppm install DBD-Oracle", I get the
following error message:

Error: PPD for 'DBD-Oracle.ppd' could not be found.

Would someone please help me to resolve this problem?

I would appreciate it,
Larry Lords
