DBD::ORACLE connectivity problem	Can't Post

Hi

I am getting below mentioned error while trying to connect DB using a perl script

install_driver(Oracle) failed: Can't locate loadable object for module DBD::Oracle in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.0 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0 .) at (eval 2) line 3
Compilation failed in require at (eval 2) line 3.
Perhaps a module that DBD::Oracle requires hasn't been fully installed

Code is as follows

#!/usr/local/bin/perl
my $oracle_home = "/x/home/oracle/product/8.1.7";
use Env ( "ORACLE_HOME" );
$ORACLE_HOME = "$oracle_home";
use DBI;
$dbh=DBI->connect('DBI:Oracle:abcde', 'uname', 'passwd') ;

Some one please help me in solving this issue.

You need to install the Oracle database driver module DBD::Oracle.

http://search.cpan.org/~pythian/DBD-Oracle-1.22/Oracle.pm

Your method of assigning the ENV var is wrong.

It's better style and a "Best Practice" to put your use statements, which are loaded at compile time, before any other code. And, every Perl script you write should include the warnings and strict pragmas.

Code

#!/usr/local/bin/perl 
 
use warnings; 
use strict; 
use DBI; 
 
$ENV{"ORACLE_HOME"} = "/x/home/oracle/product/8.1.7"; 
my $dbh = DBI->connect('DBI:Oracle:abcde', 'uname', 'passwd');
