Having recently gone through this pain myself, I wanted to mention one more gotcha that we found. It appears that the Oracle OCI libraries now require a particular timezone files found in the Oracle distribution (they must be opening and reading it whenever you try to connect to the database). Oracle locates these files by using an enviroment variable or defaulting to $ORACLE_HOME/oracore/zoneinfo. If you build DBD-Orace and move it to another system that does not have these files on it you'll get a oracle timezone error.... -- Joe Slagel Geospiza, Inc. 3939 Leary Way NW, Seattle WA 98107 (206) 633-4403 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
