DBD::Oracle

DOes anyone know the easiest way to get this module installed in iw-perl? Seems that I can install it, because DBI is old, then when I try and upgrade DBI, it says Perl is old?

Any thought here?

The easiest way to install a new module in Perl is using CPAN. There is al lot of Documentation in the Internet.

Hi Lucas

On our 5.5.2 installation we required the more recent Oracle DBI/DBD. Because this requires a later version of perl (and you can't really go around upgrading iw-perl) we installed another (more recent) instance of perl on our box -- v5.6.1.

Scripts which perform database connectivity run against the new perl interpreter and everything else runs against iw-perl.

If you come up with a better idea please let me know.

Hope this helps.

Cheers, Michael
