perlquestion johnmbd I'm trying to get a connection to an Oracle DB. It works via the command line but craps out through the browser. Here is the code<CODE> use CGI qw(:all); use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser); use strict; use DBI; print header; my $dbh = DBI->connect("dbi:Oracle:host=pikachu;sid=DEVORANT", "so", "so") or die "Can\'t connect to -- $DBI::errstr\n"; print "hello world";</CODE> Here is what gets dumped to the browser: <CODE> Content-type: text/html Software error: install_driver(Oracle) failed: [Tue Jun 6 14:53:43 2000] C:\InetPub\cgi-bin\spmc\search.pl: [Tue Jun 6 14:53:43 2000] C:\InetPub\cgi-bin\spmc\search.pl: Can't load 'C:/Perl/site/lib/auto/DBD/Oracle/Oracle.dll' for module DBD::Oracle: load_file:Access is denied at C:/Perl/lib/DynaLoader.pm line 169.

Often these errors are actually occurring in the initialisation C code of the extension XS file. Perl reports the error as being in this perl code simply because this was the last perl code it executed." I can't tell if this is the case. If it is, can I work around it, if it isn't can anyone help me?
