Which PPM server are you using Tristram? On my system ppm search oracle gives me Packages available from http://ppm.ActiveState.com/cgibin/PPM/ppmserver.pl?urn:/PPMServer: **DBD-Oracle [1.12] Oracle database driver for the DBI module DBIx-OracleLogin [0.02] takes a string and splits out individual login information (user id, Oracle sid, and password) to be used in a DBI->connect() statement when connecting to an Oracle database. DDL-Oracle [1.11] a DDL generator for Oracle databases and ppm set shows (amongst other things) Current PPD repository paths: ActiveState Package Repository: http://ppm.ActiveState.com/cgibin/PPM/ppmserver.pl?urn:/PPMServer So DBD::Oracle is clearly there. In addition, this module is one of the minority that install cleanly from CPAN, which are almost always more recent than the versions on ActiveState's PPM server. (CPAN's current DBD::Oracle is v1.14 compared with v1.12 above). HTH, Rob -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
