Hi. Nice node. Unfortunately it seems like some of our less enlightened brethren are getting thrown by the minor typo in your example

print "Oracle home is $Config{"ORACLE_HOME"};
[download]

Should read

print "Oracle home is $Config{ORACLE_HOME}";
[download]

And likewise for the other print() statement. Also apparently it isnt all too clear (to some, *sigh*) that the INI snippet you include is meant to go along with the code snippet. Maybe you could clarify that?

Good post nonetheless. ++
