But beware that setting ORACLE_HOME to a different version to the one
that's supplying the Oracle client library (via LD_LIBRARY_PATH etc)
is likely to cause problems, like not being able to get the text of an
error message, or worse.

I am pretty sure this is supposed to reside in /etc. I know that on
our HP-UX boxes the tnsnames.ora is in /etc and we use Perl for some
database access.

Hi,
Can somebody tell me where the Perl exactly look for tnsnames.ora while
connecting to Oracle ?
The Oracle client looks for tnsnames.ora in the
$ORACLE_HOME/network/admin directory. We typically set the Perl
variable $ENV{ORACLE_HOME} to the location of the Oracle installation in
our database connection modules prior to any attempt to open a database
connection.
