You will have to give us the DBD::Oracle version as well. ORA-12514 is TNS:listener does not currently know of service requested in connect descriptor
http://ora-12514.ora-code.com/ so I sort of suspect that you lintener and or service is not set up correctly to handle the language or the DB is in one languae and the clinet is trying to connect with another These sort of problems can be fixed with the 'ora_charset, ora_ncharset' flags at connection time Do a connect with the attribute dbd_verbose=>15 and that should dump what the client and DBs language code is.
