Hi Any Kind Person,
Larry was almost right. Actually, dbi-users@perl.org would have been a more appropriate mail list.
I am currently getting the following error message and was wondering if you could help?

But for the past several days now

DBI connect('nameofdb','username',...) failed: ORA-24315: illegal attribute type (DBD ERROR: OCIAttrGet OCI_ATTR_ENV_CHARSET_ID) at perlscript.pl line 463 Can't connect to database:ORA-24315: illegal attribute type (DBD ERROR: OCIAttrGet OCI_ATTR_ENV_CHARSET_ID) at perlscript.pl line 463.
[snip] My guess is that the installation of Oracle on the computer on which you are running this perl script was upgraded several days ago (perhaps by the application of a patch), an that, in consequence, the bits of DBD::Oracle which are implemented on C need re-compiling. You should ask the person who installed DBD::Oracle to do this for you. -- Charles Jardine - Computing Service, University of Cambridge [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tel: +44 1223 334506, Fax: +44 1223 334679
