If you can connect via ssh (not SSL, that's an additional layer inside
application protocols), you could use port forwarding.
For a basic setup, try running one of the following commands:
ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] -L 1521:remote.machine:1521
ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] -L 1521:127.0.0.1:1521
This will forward TCP port 1521 to your local machine, i.e. you can
connect to localhost:1521 instead of remote.machine:1521 as long as the
ssh connection stays open. See man ssh for more details. If you do not
want to enter a password every time you connect, use a public key in
$HOME/.ssh/autorized_hosts on the remote machine and ssh-agent on the
local machine.
For Oracle's own SSL,

may help.

I need to connect to an Oracle db on a remote machine, on the local network,

DBD::Oracle? Is there some other way to do this?
Any assistance appreciated.
