I've got a fairly odd issue with using both an Oracle connection and a ODBC connection from the same script. I can do everything (select/delete/update/insert) on either database in separate scripts, but when I put them together I get odd errors. I put together the following code to demonstrate the errors I'm seeing. 
Perl Version: 5.8.6
DBD:Oracle 1.16
DBD:ODBC 1.13
DBI 1.48
unixODBC 2.2.10
freetds 0.63RC10
OS: HPUX 11.11

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!  

Thanks,
Derek

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use DBI;
        
my $odbc = DBI->connect("dbi:ODBC:dbx","UID","PASS",{RaiseError=>1, Pr
+intError=>1,AutoCommit=>1});

my $oracle = DBI->connect("dbi:Oracle:dbo","UID","PASS",{RaiseError=>1
+, PrintError=>1,AutoCommit=>1});

my $sth = $oracle->prepare("select sysdate from dual");

-------
ERROR OUTPUT:
