I'm very new to perl so this should be simple. I'm currently using ActivePerl 5.6.1 with 1.12 DBD-Oracle going to a 9i server. When I run the code:

use DBI qw(:sql_types);
use DBD::Oracle qw(:ora_types);  


$ENV{'ORACLE_HOME'} ||= 'C:\oracle\ora92\bin';
die "bad ORACLE_HOME\n" if not -d $ENV{'ORACLE_HOME'};
$ENV{'PATH'} = $ENV{'ORACLE_HOME'};


my $dbh = DBI->connect("dbi:Oracle:host=blah;port=blah;sid=blah", 'blah', 'blah',
                       {RaiseError => 1, PrintError => 0, AutoCommit => 0 });

it gives me this error:

DBI connect('host=blah;port=blah;sid=blah','blah',...) failed: at C:\\Temp\dirA36.tmp\Untitled line 13
Press any key to continue . . .

my $dbh = DBI->connect("dbi:Oracle:host=blah;port=blah;sid=blah", 'blah', 'blah', is line 13... but I can log into the db via sql plus with the same information. What could be going wrong?

Thanks,
