I have written a perl DBI script to check passwords of some 1500 users on an oracle database. I have set up a loop to go through a list containing userid:password of each user on a separate line. I use DBI->connect to connect to the instance using the userid/password from the list. If connection is successful, I record the info in a file and disconnect from the db and check the next userid/passwd with another connect. The problem is when the wrong password is supplied, oracle prompts for correct userid. What oracle state is this(I cannot disconnect because I'm not connected)? And how can I handle it in perl? Is there a more efficient way to do this in perl than what I have explained above?
