Hi Janine,

Your module has built correctly and passes all tests except 1, so it's not done 
too badly!

The error from the one test that's failed (the LOB test) almost appears like 
its a fault in the test, not in your environment. From a glance, it looks like 
the test is supplying an undefined value as one of the query parameters for 
execution, which seems erroneous to me.

If you are *just* using DBD::Oracle to run the check_oracle_health plugin, you 
may wish to just forcibly install the perl module (effectively ignoring the 
result of that single failed test), as I don't believe that Nagios plugin is 
using LOBs anyway. If you wish to do this, you can launch the CPAN shell and 
run 'force install DBD::Oracle':
        #  perl -MCPAN -e shell
        cpan[1]>  force install DBD::Oracle

Regards,
Tom
