Re: Help with 10.2.0.3 instant client and Perl 5.8.5

And one more idea --

in 10.2.0.3 the default permissions have changed of various places in ORACLE_HOME. And according to
oracle_at_central:~/ [CENTRAL] oerr ora 12705 12705, 00000, "Cannot access NLS data files or invalid environment specified"

// *Cause: Either an attempt was made to issue an ALTER SESSION command
//         with an invalid NLS parameter or value; or the environment
//         variable(s) NLS_LANG, ORA_NLSxx, or ORACLE_HOME was incorrectly
//         specified, therefore the NLS data files cannot be located.

it may not be able to read the nls files.

Try running strace -o strace.log <your perl script that fails>

Then grep the output file for "open" and check for permission errors.
