OCI.dll cannot be found

Thanks for all the great help!

When I try and connect to the Oracle server I get the following "Unable to
Locate Component" error box:

This application has failed to start because OCI.dll was not found.
Re-installing the application may fix this problem."

The OCI.dll is installed as part of the Oracle Thick Client. Do I have to have
this client installed on my machine to connect to an Oracle server? I have not
had to have a client installed to interface with a MySql database.

I am running Windows XP Pro, Perl 5.8.4, and DBD-Oracle9-1.16. I am trying to
go against an Oracle 9i database.

Thanks for all the previous great help!

I am getting close,
Larry Lords
