I cannot emphasize this enough: do not use the Perl that is installed with Oracle unless required. It is old, and key components are missing.

Just go to www.perl.com, find the latest 5.8 version and install it yourself. For use with oracle install it under the $HOME directory for Oracle.

If on win32, just install it on as an admin.

You will be much happier with it if you do.
