Dear fellow DBAs

We have received an Oracle Security alert that Oracle's recommend to install ASAP.=20
While reading the install instructions if was surprised to see that Oracle wants you to run Perl scripts on the Win2k server.=20 Has any of you out there with Win2k server apply this patch?? If you have not, do you have Perl installed on your Win2k server.??

TIA Yuval.

Part of the install instructions :

To apply the patch, make sure the ORACLE_HOME environment variable is
# set to the correct Oracle Home which needs to be patched:
#
# &gt; set ORACLE_HOME=3D&lt;Oracle Home Path&gt;
#
# Then set your current directory to the directory where the patch is
# located, e.g.:
#
# &gt; cd 3738339
#
# Ensure that the directory containing the OPatch script appears in
# your Path; then enter the following command:
#
# &gt; perl opatch.pl apply=20
