Linking Perl DBD::Oracle with Oracle 9.2 stropped OCI.DLL

["Baras, Gal" <Gal dot Baras at det dot qld dot gov dot au>]

Hello,

I'm trying to install the DBD::Oracle Perl module.  I've tried creating
oci.def file from the Oracle 9.2 OCI.DLL library, but it is stripped and
nothing gets listed.  I've downloaded a tool that converted OCI.DLL to
OCI.LIB (a static library), from which I could get the exported symbols into
oci.def, but still I get the same results:

1.  perl Makefile.PL tells me that it cannot find -loci (saying it's not a
big deal)

2.  make produces the following output (error, really):

gcc -c -I/cygdrive/c/oracle/ora92/oci/include

Is there anywhere to get suitable libraries for Cygwin?

Is there any way to overcome this using the existing files?

Thanks,
