ORACLE-db on remote host from perl script on win32 ?!

Hi there,

I've got the following problem and hope anyone might help me ...

I want to ´work on a ORACLE database running on a remote WinNT-server. So far I see 2 possibilities:

1. connect to the database using a module, such as DBI or DBD
2. use the database as a ODBC-db and connect to using win32::odbc.

The major problem seems to be, that the db is running on a remote server. And anyone out there told me, that I can not connect to ODBC-db on a remote host. Is that right ?

If so, or if not, which way should I take to realize the connection ? Which modules do I need for it ? Does anybody know a tutorial, docu or script example to help me ?

Thanx in advance

Regards
