Hello. We have been using Perl 5.6 and DBD 1.12 for Oracle 8i on Windows, it works well to a local Oracle database. When we set the dbd connect parameter to another Oracle server (SID?) in the network, we always can a listener failure on the local Windows 2000 box.

We are very experienced with perl and dbd, but not that experienced with Oracle, although we can connect from a Linux box with only an Oracle client via dbd to any other Oracle server on our network without extra fuss, simply by giving the right SID name in the connect call "connect(dbi:Oracle:Oracleservername,"","");"

Any ideas of what we are doing wrong?

thanks,
