Perl::DBI problems after charset change

Hey all,

We've just changed our charactersets on our 8.1.7.2 (and 8.1.7.4) DBs from US7ASCII to WE8ISO8859P1 using the Oracle-approved "ALTER DATABASE CHARACTER SET WE8ISO8859P1" and accompanying commands. Everything works like a champ, but our Perl::DBI connections now all cause an invisibile "ORA-1017 invalid username/password" error. The error never appears in the client -- the only reason I know this happens is because I'm auditing for it.

Other than having our audit log tablespace fill up, this leaves me a little worried and I don't know how to track it down. Of course, since the apps all work without reporting the error we never caught it in our testing.

The version of Perl is 5.005_03, the Oracle client is 8.0.5.0.0 on Solaris, and I don't know what version of DBI or DBD::Oracle. I've tested my much newer versions of Perl, Oracle client and DBI/DBD::Oracle under windows and no audit is generated. I've also connected using SQL*plus from the 8.0.5.0.0 client without audit.

I'm going to try and debug this without affecting the production systems, but has anyone encountered this before?

TIA!
