Oracle Database Discussions

Hello,

We are trying to connect oracle 11.2 database from a perl script. I have verified that DBD::ORACLE version is 1.19. The environment is linux environment. Linux is SuSE linux and version is 10 SP1.

The code we are executing is

============
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use DBI;
my $db = DBI->connect( "dbi:Oracle:SID", "USERID", "XXXXXX" )
|| die( $DBI::errstr . "\n" );
my $SEL = "SELECT sysdate FROM DUAL";
my $sth = $db->prepare($SEL);
$sth->execute();

my($cdate);

while ( $sth->fetch() ) {
Print "DATE: $cdate\n";
}

$sth->finish() ;
=======================


We are receiving following error:
install_driver(oracle) failed: Can't locate DBD/oracle.pm in @INC (@INC contains
