Thank you!

Now I have correct PATH.
But I have another problem :-(
Certanly, this is question for perl experts.
Perl never ends....
I see perl.exe from user tabel runs forever when it is started from
.forward.

If I kill this process last output from it is:
DynaLoader::bootstrap for DBD::Oracle (auto/DBD/Oracle/Oracle.dll)

This is script:

#!/usr/bin/perl
$ENV{ORACLE_HOME}='c:\oracle\ora81';
system ("/usr/bin/env");
use DBI;
$user = "tabel";
$passwd = "";
$host = "oracle.belkam.com";
$sid = "TABEL";
$dbh = DBI->connect("dbi:Oracle:host=$host;sid=$sid", $user, $passwd);
print "OK";


Certanly, I can successefely run this from .forward on Linux (well, we run
postfix on this machine).

But I need to run it on windows :-(
