Perl
This is perl, v5.8.7 built for MSWin32-x86-multi-thread
(with 7 registered patches, see perl -V for more detail)
Binary build 813 [148120] provided by ActiveState
http://www.ActiveState.com
Built Jun 6 2005 13:36:37
Note: perl -V output below
DBI
DBI version 1.48
DBD-ODBC version 1.13
DBD-Oracle version 1.16
Installed via (a varient of) this:
ppm install -force -follow

ppm install -force -follow

Oracle server (remote)
Oracle8i Enterprise Edition Release 8.1.7.4.0 - 64bit Production
With the Partitioning option
JServer Release 8.1.7.4.0 - 64bit Production
ORACLE_HOME is set both in the registry (via Oracle client-side
installation process) and also in the system environment variables
(by me, for good measure?).
Symptoms:
SqlPlus connection works fine.
A perl script attempting connection works fine ONLY when the
script is run from \orant\net80\admin.
When the script is run from anywhere else, I get this error:
ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified
(DBD ERROR: OCIServerAttach)
Note that printf("%s\n", $ENV{'ORACLE_HOME'});
displays c:\orant (as expected).
Help!
And Thanks!
