I am migrating an Oracle 9i to Oracle 10g database, and Perl 5.0.4 to Perl 5.8.7 in Sun Solaris environment.
My old Perl/DBI script was able to connect via this method: use DBI; $dbd = 'Oracle'; $user = '/'; $password = '/'; $dbh = DBI->connect ($dbname, $user, $password, $dbd); This is not working with new version of Perl/DBI. I have changed script to connect correctly: use DBI; $dbd = 'Oracle'; $user = 'scott'; $password = 'tiger'; $dbh = DBI->connect ("dbi:$dbd:$dbname",$user, $password); But need to be able to connect with user identified externally (as before). I cannot find documentation on proper syntax or if a fix was made in later version of DBI. Can anyone help? Mark Cummings
