WARNING: The tests will probably fail unless you set ORACLE_HOME yourself! Using Oracle in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK\Bin Can't find sqlplus. Pity, it would have helped. I'm having trouble finding your Oracle version number... trying harder WARNING: I could not determine Oracle client version so I'll just default to version 8.0.0.0. Some features of DBD::Oracle may not work. Oracle version based logic in Makefile.PL may produce erroneous results. You can use "perl Makefile.PL -V X.Y.Z" to specify a your client version. Oracle version 8.0.0.0 (8.0) OCI directory not found, please install OCI in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK\Bin at Makefile.PL line 228.
