Exim, .forward and DBD::Oracle

[Dmitry Melekhov]

Hello!

You are right.
Problem is in PATH.
If I set PATH _inside_ perl script this doesn't help...
I simulated this doing unset PATH in command line
and I have the same problem.
When I export PATH=/cygdrive/c/oracle/ora81
this is enough to load Oracle.dll.

Then I tried to setup exim as following, i.e. with PATH
$ /bin/cygrunsrv -I exim -p /usr/bin/exim -a "-bd -q15m" -e
"PATH=/cygdrive/c/oracle/ora81/bin"

Unfortunately, in perl script I still have PATH=/usr/bin
and Oracle.dll can't be loaded.
Any ideas? Thank you!
