Hello there I am pretty new in the Linux area and I am trying to install DBD:Oracle on this platform. It tries to reach a 9i database (all tests were directed to 9i on Linux and/or win2k).
I can connect directly in sqlplus to the remote platform as well as to the local one. Thank you for your help. I posted a small amount of output, i could post more in case I omitted relevant facts.

Try to connect to the database using an oracle tool like sqlplus only if that works should you suspect problems with DBD::Oracle. Try leaving dbname value empty and set dbuser to name/passwd@dbname.
