Using a DSN of dbi:ODBC:xyz, the DBI -> connect(...) call takes 16 (sic) seconds with both the Perl script and Oracle running on the same PC under Windows. You have been warned :-(.
I've occasionally seen similar outrageously long connection times with other software (not necessarily Perl - but Windows is always part of the mix), and it usually comes down to how the host names are resolved - and there turns out to be some problems (severe problems) with ... well, I'm probably about to use the jargon all wrong, but ... DNS and MS domain controllers and the like. Sometimes, DHCP gets in the way too. So, I'd be more inclined to label it a "network or PC client setup" problem than a "Perl + DBI _ DBD::Anything" problem. -- Jonathan Leffler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> #include <disclaimer.h> Guardian of DBD::Informix - v2005.02 - http://dbi.perl.org "I don't suffer from insanity - I enjoy every minute of it."
