Subject: perl directory tree migration problem
Date: Dec 5 1997 10:00PM

hi everyone,

i installed perl 5004.004 and sybperl 2.08.52 on an nt4 server using visual c++
without any problems. i had a request to install it on another nt box, but the
system administrator will not allow me to install the c++ compiler first. he
requested that i copy the perl directory tree only and did so.

in running a simple test, i get the following error:

DB-Library error:
        Specified server name attribute could not be found
Operating-system error:
        There is no OS level error
Can't call method "dbuse" without a package or object reference at test.pl
line 7.

the perl, sybase include and lib paths in the target nt system appear to be set
correctly.

any ideas?

thanks,
brian
