Perl is only loaded if you do a Typical install,
because it loads the Apache server, and Perl is a part of it.
Not being a UNIX/LINUX shop, and not wanting to install Apache on a DB
server box,
and you cannot just install Perl from OUI, so our WIN boxes DO NOT have
Perl.
So reading the instructions, it says to load Perl 5.6.1 for preference,
so I load the Activestate 5.6.1, get OPATCH 1.0.0.0.50,
and try to run OPATCH, without any luck after hours of playing with the
syntax.
After finding all the FAQs and discussions on this Patch,
I try to load an older Perl 5.00503, which would be the Perl loaded with
Apache.
And finally OPATCH works, go figure.
So for WIN/Novell only shops, this is NO fun time.
We are looking to run SUSE LINUX for the DBs,
since this is now covered by our Novell licenses.
But LINUX is NO fun for DOS/WIN/Novell users of many years.

Isn't Oracle installing Perl as part of it's software install now?

My job would be much more difficult *without* Perl on all our Win32
servers.
