Actually, I'd question this. I get the same error(though i can still
connect). I've even put debuging code into the script that we use to
start apache and it shows that $ORACLE_HOME is properly set when the
script is run.
Just for reference Versions:
Perl 5.6.0
DBI 1.14
DBD::ORACLE 1.06
I haven't felt like chasing down when/where the error is coming from. It
works for now and one error on start up is minor compared to spending the
errors that occure inside the code running the website.
