You need to install Oracle client on your linux system. The doc here is very helpful: http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/9i/Oracle9iInstallationOnFedora1.php. You can find other docs for other platform on the site too. Once you installed Oracle client, config your tnsnames.ora (located at $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin) file so that it can access the database on the Oracle server. George ================================================ And once you've done what George suggests above, then you need to install DBI and DBD::Oracle on the Red Hat Linux system. _Then_ you should be able to connect from your RH Linux client to the Oracle server on Windoze using Perl.
