i've asked oracle's forums and gotten nothing useful, so hopefully
someone here can help...
i have scripts that connect to mysql; they need to connect to an
oracle server. i've tried installing DBD::Oracle from cpan, and get
an error message about "The ORACLE_HOME environment variable value
(/usr/lib/oracle/10.2.0.1/client/lib) is not valid." - this after
installing oracle's instantclient-basic and instantclient-sqlplus.
my question is, what oracle software (the absolute minimum necessary)
do i need to install in order for scripts to connect to an oracle
server? and if i did install the proper programs (all of them)
what/where do i need to go to find the missing steps to get it all
working?
I think you have enough software. If you can run SQL*Plus, you should be
OK. Try using just "/usr/lib/oracle/10.2.0.1" or
"/usr/lib/oracle/10.2.0.1/client" as your ORACLE_HOME. Also, be sure to
look at the README's with the DBD::Oracle package.
