How to run DBD::Oracle with Apache and Perl

Hi All,

I am trying to connect to Oracle on unix box using DBI-DBD modules in perl. I statically linked the DBD module as dynamic linking was failure. When I run my perl application it says "DBD::Oracle::ORA_OCI() is deprecated" and "DBD::Oracle initialisation failed: Can't locate aut
o/DBD/Oracle/ORA_OCI.al in @INC....".
I am sure ORA_OCI.al file is nowhere on my system.
I am stuck with this problem. Please help me out.

Thanks
Vibha

Show a sample of how you are trying to connect to the
database. I use Perl DBI alot but have never seen that error
message.

Tyr connecting using the following:

use DBI;
use DBD::Oracle;

BEGIN {
$ENV{ORACLE_HOME} = '/path/to/oracle',
}

## Initialize connection to Oracle and making
## DBI report any errors
my $dbh = DBI->connect('dbi:Oracle',
'username/password','',
{RaiseError => 1 });


Also, read the DBI documentation using the perldoc utility,
like so: perldoc DBI

The documentation show several ways of connecting, try them
and see which one works for you.
