Hi, I need to run a report on several Oracle DB's why when I run the script -w complains that $username & $passwd are only used once? Why doesn't it get it right in my connect string? The actual passwd consists of characters such as <>? and other's. Tnx. 
@sites = ("sid1", "sid2");
@ips = ("10.10.10.10");
$icnt = 0;
$username = "user";
$passwd = "passwd";

foreach $site (@sites) {
 ################
 print "Attempting to connect...\n";
 $dbh = DBI->connect('dbi:Oracle:', q{$username/$passwd@(DESCRIPTION=
 (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST= $ips[$icnt])(PORT=1521))
 (CONNECT_DATA=(SID=$site)))}, "") || die "Can't connect vi SQLNET to 
+Database: $! $site";
 print "Connection successful\n";
$dbh->disconnect();
