Perl is probably reading v$table as v(contents of the scalar $table). Try using an escape character. v\$table

I can access these tables using SQL*Plus from the same machine over the lan, and the "system" user can access non v$tables via DBI. Any ideas?? the database version is 9.0.1 thanks Ian __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Send FREE Valentine eCards with Yahoo! Greetings! http://greetings.yahoo.com
