Hi, I'm trying to run this Perl script against a remote Oracle 10g R1
database. I'm using WinXP and i already have the oracle client software
installed and working.

My Perl version is 5.8.7
DBI version is: 1.50
DBD version is: 1.17

#!perl -w

use strict;

use DBI;

my $dbh = DBI->connect( 'dbi:Oracle:maxdev1', 'scott', 'tiger',

{ RaiseError => 1, AutoCommit => 0 } );

print $dbh->selectrow_array(qq{ SELECT 'Hello World' FROM DUAL });

$dbh->disconnect( );

This is the error message i get:

install_driver(Oracle) failed: Can't load
'C:/Perl/site/lib/auto/DBD/Oracle/Oracle.dll' for module DBD::Oracle:
load_file:The specified procedure could not be found at
C:/Perl/lib/DynaLoader.pm line 230.
at (eval 3) line 3
Compilation failed in require at (eval 3) line 3.
Perhaps a required shared library or dll isn't installed where expected
at C:\Perl\code\select_dual_short.plx line 9

Any clues about what can be wrong??

Maybe a bad DBD/DBI installation ...
Try rebuilding/reinstalling DBD.

I already tried three times without luck. By the way, it doesn't throw
any error message when i do the install.

You might want to post your question in the dbi newsgroup also.
