oraperl & SQL*Net: need help

I'm trying use oraperl with SQL*Net for the first time and nothing seems to work. I'm wondering if anyone out there has gotten oraperl to work successfully with SQL*Net. If so, I'd like to know what modifications to the Makefile were necessary. I have a feeling that I'm not linking in the right SQL*Net libraries when I'm building oraperl, but I'm not sure.  

The snippet of code where I connect is as follows:

#
# login to the db
#

        $connect = "$user/$pass_at_t:$host:$sqldb";
        $lda = &ora_login('', $connect, '') || die $ora_errstr . "\n";
 
I get the following message when I connect:
        ORA-02729: osncon: driver not in osntab
 

I'm running ORACLE RDBMS V6.0.36.7.1 with AIX 3.2 Perl is 4.0.35 and oraperl is 2.0
I'm not sure what version of SQL*Net were running but we are using TCP/IP.  

Any help would be greatly appreciated!  

thanks,
