Rich, Though I've never had this problem with Perl, I have had it with SAP.
If NLS_LANG is set incorrectly at the client, it won't work. In your Perl: $ENV{NLS_LANG} = 'whatever'; Try it, you might like it. :) Jared "Jesse, Rich" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 10/01/2002 08:18 AM Please respond to ORACLE-L To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> cc: Subject: RE: Perl::DBI problems after charset change No, but it shouldn't matter, should it? Isn't Oracle supposed to convert between different NLS_LANGs on server and client? I would think that would be shown by the fact that SQL*Plus works just fine from the same client.
