What do you have set for your ORACLE_HOME and any NLS variables?
env|grep ORA
env|grep NLS
Execute the above commands.

Hi,
I have installed oracle 10g client on my system. But still i am getting
error while trying to connect to oracle as follows:
DBI connect('host=10.7.85.32;sid=SMDB1;port=1521','wb',...) failed: ERROR

Pls help me to get rid of this error.

The only way to avoid installing an Oracle client on a specific machine is
to use another machine with an installed Oracle client as a proxy, using
DBD::Proxy or DBD::Gofer, or some other proxying code.

If you are absolutely sure you cannot install any Oracle software on
your machine you need to search for Oracle Wire Protocol drivers.
However, none of these are made by Oracle and if Oracle change the
network protocol they will probably stop working until you can get an
update from the manufacturer. Also, these WP drivers don't tend to
support encryption, XA, failover etc and many other features you get
with the Oracle client.
A better bet in my opinion is to install Oracle Instant Client. It is a
relatively small download and can be installed anywhere - you do not
need root permission.

Since you appear to be running in a Windows environment, I wonder if a
problem my group encountered several years ago might be the issue? The
error text is not identical, at least the portion you've supplied, so
this may not be relevant.
Use regedit to check you NLS key value at:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Oracle\HOME\NLS_LANG
We found it was set to 'NA', which is not a legal language value.
Setting it to a legal value ('AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8MSWIN1252' in our
case) fixed the problem.

Alexander You may decide I'm being a little pedantic here but it depends on what you class as an Oracle client. If it is THE Oracle client as in the oci and net8 libraries (whether they come from Oracle's InstantClient or a full database install) then there are ways of talking to Oracle via ODBC that do not need THE client. These are generally called wire protocol drivers and do not need anything installed from Oracle. I mentioned them before because I thought the OP was on a non-windows operating system but even on Windows you do not need THE oracle client for DBD::ODBC or the ODBC driver manager if you use a so called wire protocol driver.
