you don't need to set $ENV{'ORACLE_SID'} set at startup, just
$ENV{'ORACLE_HOME'} if you make the instance name part of the DBI
connect string:
my $DBASE='ynto';
my $DBUSER='foo';
my $DBPASS='bar';
my $dbh = DBI->connect("dbi:Oracle:$DBASE", $DBUSER, $DBPASS,
{RaiseError => 1, AutoCommit => 0, PrintError => 1}) or die
$DBI::errstr;
see the DBD::Oracle manpage or the cheetah book for more info about
Oracle connect strings - you can put just about anything in them, even
something like
$dbh = DBI->connect('dbi:Oracle:host=foobar;sid=ORCL;port=1521',
'scott/tiger', '')
or
$dbh = DBI->connect('dbi:Oracle:', q{scott/tiger@(DESCRIPTION=
(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST= foobar)(PORT=1521))
(CONNECT_DATA=(SID=ORCL)))}, "")
