Hi Mark,
Thanx very much for the info.
But i could still see the hanging script after changing the
connection string to 'dbi:Oracle:IRDO'.
I would appreciate if u could suggest me in this regard.
Regards,
S Bala

S,
The connect string you use is an old style SQL*Net v1 connect string, which isn't
supported anymore in 7.3.4. Assuming you have set
up SQL*Net v2 correctly on your client machine, you should use :
$dbh = DBI->connect('dbi:Oracle:IRDO', 'User' , 'Pass') || die $DBI::errstr;
instead of :
$dbh = DBI->connect('dbi:Oracle:IRDO@bcarhzq0:1521', 'User' , 'Pass') || die
$DBI::errstr;
Hope this helps,
Mark
