It's possible that the installed oracle.dll can no longer communicate with
the database server. Sounds like an upgrade to that may have forced you to
upgrade your DBD library as well, so it's more of a database question than
a web question. Don't bother posting this over to perl-win32-database
though, as I think these lists all seem to have about the same readership.
Your best bet is probably to reinstall DBD::Oracle. If everything else was
known to be working, then that's the obvious thing to try, and chances are
pretty good that an upgrade will fix it.
If that doesn't take care of it, send us (or the database list -- again,
"us") details on your setup:
* what version of Oracle you were working against,
* what version of Oracle is working now,
* what versions of other software you're running
(Windows, Perl, libraries like DBI, etc), and
whether or not any of them may have changed
Try checking for recent timestamps on relevant files (...possibly your
whole hard drive... *shrug*) for anything that has changed since the last
time your script[s] w(as|ere) known to work, since any such change could
point to a possible culprit. Also check/ask about anything else that may
have broken. If it's just you, then the Oracle DBD is a good candidate,
but if other people with non-related applications are also having trouble
(e.g. applications for working with Oracle etc) then the problem may lay
somewhere else.
Try to pin down what's the same, what changed, and what exactly has
stopped working and in what way[s] they have stopped working.
