Hi Larry I just did a fresh 10g install on my windows laptop last night plus AcitveState Perl 5.8. I ran into the same issue, just ignored the Perl that comes with 10g, "fixed" PERL5LIB and=20 I'm only going to use 5.8 anyway including the DBI and DBD packages = Jared mentioned below. The version that comes with 10g is still 5.6. If you're using dbiproxy = and that kind of stuff=20 and your Perl libs are not matching, serialization causes problems. So = it's easier to stick to the=20 same Perl version for all things you're doing.

Win2K, environment variable PERL5LIB (I've broken into separate lines = for readability): H:\oracle\product\10.1.0\db_1\perl\lib\5.6.1\MSWin32-x86; H:\oracle\product\10.1.0\db_1\perl\lib\5.6.1; H:\oracle\product\10.1.0\db_1\perl\5.6.1\lib\MSWin32-x86; H:\oracle\product\10.1.0\db_1\perl\site\5.6.1; H:\oracle\product\10.1.0\db_1\perl\site\5.6.1\lib; H:\oracle\product\10.1.0\db_1\sysman\admin\scripts So I've installed ActivePerl 5.8.3.809 in it's own directory named "h:\Perl". I've got problems that can be resolved by whacking the = PERL5LIB variable. But what do people normally do? I suppose I could install = Perl under any specific version of Oracle (4 of them) on my machine. Or I=20 assume I can delete the duplicate rows above, and then modify to point to my "h:\Perl" and "h:\Perl\lib", and leave the sysman piece in there. So = what=20 do you Perl folks do?
