Hi, I am trying to connect with one oracle database thru perl script. But it is giving timed out error. But to my surprise, I am able to connect with the same database thru ”sqlplus” command in the same UNIX server where I have the perl script. Could anyone please tell me what could be the problem? Below is the sample script which I am using. 
 
use strict;
use DBI;


 my $DBI_DSN = "dbi:Oracle:DB_NAME";
 my $DBI_USER = "user"; 
 my $DBI_PASS = "password";

 $dbh = DBI->connect($DBI_DSN, $DBI_USER, $DBI_PASS,
                    {AutoCommit => 0, RaiseError => 0,
                     LongReadLen => 2000000, LongTruncOk => 0}) ;
