Thanks for the feedback Jacqui,

Would I have to un-install DBD first, or will the re-install tidy things 
up?

Cheers
Tony

Warning Will Robinson!  Danger Danger!!

Oracle is not always a works/don't work thing. You can get seriously odd
behaviour such as DML works but DDL fails (silently).

Unless you *know* one works fully it would be safest to re-install
DBD::Oracle against one or other.
