As you probably know, DBD::Teradata is not actively supported by the author and probably hasn't been tested with TTU 15.0. You may wish to try using Teradata::SQL instead.
When you say "Teradata Client 15.00", are you referring to the client software (TTU) on your Red Hat machine? What version is the database? Is the name in /etc/hosts (or DNS) really "myHost"? Sorry I can't be more helpful. If you want to try Teradata::SQL, you can write directly to me for support.
