RE: perl- dbi

Hello, R . Rajasekar

perl -e 'use DBI;'

I would ask what platform you are using that does not have perl installed?
Most unix platforms will already have a default installation of perl and
DBI. If you are installing on windows, you will likely use ActiveState; it
has been a while since I installed active state, but I seem to recall that
it installed DBI.

Oracle and the DBD driver are another story. DBD::Oracle will be required to
use DBI to connect to an Oracle database. No, this is not likely installed
on a default installation.

Perhaps you could post more information: platform, error message, connection
code...

Hope this helps,

Christian Werner
