Hi,
I've come a long way since that posting but have hit a new impasse.
Here are the steps taken so far:
I downloaded IndigoPerl and am using IndigoPerl Build 626.
http://www.indigostar.com/indigoperl.htm
I downloaded a copy of nmake.exe from Microsoft
http://download.microsoft.com/download/vc15/Patch/1.52/W95/EN-US/Nmake15.exe
I then installed Microsoft Visual C++6.0 ( I couldn't get gcc from gnu to
work)
and did the following.
At the command line I went to the directory
D:\IndigoPerl\lib\DBI-1.18
I entered the following:
D:\IndigoPerl\lib\DBI-1.18>perl makefile.pl
D:\IndigoPerl\lib\DBI-1.18>nmake
#
BTW no set of notes explains that nmake automatically takes a file by the
name makefile ;)I'm ashamed to say that predicting the result of this had me
stumped! Also until a unix guru colleague pointed out that nmake sits on top
of a C compiler as opposed to doing all the work itself (some job for such a
small file!) I was struggling with nmakes obscure error messages!
#
Then I entered
D:\IndigoPerl\lib\DBI-1.18>nmake test.
Everything seems fine from the output:
D:\IndigoPerl\lib test.pl
test.pl
DBI test application $Revision: 10.6 $
Using D:/IndigoPerl/lib/DBI-1.18/blib
Switch: DBI 1.18 by Tim Bunce, 1.18

test.pl done
Now I am wondering about how to get this compiled module into site\lib i.e.
install it into the Perl library on my machine. Then I can start on the
Oracle DBI and installing it!
Any help much appreciated again.
Thanks,
Eoin

I am going to assume you installed the precompiled binaries from active
state.
Type in at a command prompt window:
perl -v
Look for the line that mentions which binary build it is...
Mine says: "Binary build 626 provided by ActiveState Tool Corp"
If yours says 6xx you want the following link:
http://www.activestate.com/PPMPackages/zips/6xx-builds-only/
If it says 5xx you want this:
http://www.activestate.com/PPMPackages/zips/5xx-builds-only/
Download the files and follow the instructions in the readme file.
