I just inherited a couple of HP servers that I now have to admin. My 'root' account does not have have ORACLE HOME set since we have an ORACLE user that has that env variable set. The error is after my sig.

I tried it as ORACLE but it cannot write to the .cpan repository so it errors out.

How would I do this?

        Especially if you have any problems.

  The ORACLE_HOME environment variable must be set.
  It must be set to hold the path to an Oracle installation directory
  on this machine (or a machine with a compatible architecture).
  See the README.clients file for more information.
