Hey Rob, To get my attention it's best to include me explicitly on the To list in addition to [EMAIL PROTECTED] I've switched to from ActiveState perl to the Cygwin perl package. The latter doesn't seem to include the ppm command. Using Cygwin perl, I just installed DBD::Oracle by running these commands: perl -MCPAN -e 'install DBI' perl -MCPAN -e 'install DBD::Oracle' When you install a module using perl -MCPAN -e 'install module', there's an attempt to determine all the dependencies and install them first. However, my first attempt at installing DBD::Oracle failed and printed a message saying that DBI.pmm wasn't installed so I did that separately and then redid the DBD::Oracle installation. Then the latter worked but the configuration and test phases did not complete because ORACLE_HOME was not defined. I have my system configured to prefer the CPAN mirror at cpan.pair.com/pub/CPAN/ because pair.com is in relatively nearby Pittsburg (I'm in Baltimore) and I've had excellent experiences with their hosting services. My CPAN configuration was setup at the beginning of my first module installation attempt and the configuration file is /lib/perl5/5.8.0/CPAN/Config.pm. -tristram -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
