Hello DBI Monks ;)

I try to connect to an Oracle 920 base with the classic : 

my $dbh = DBI->connect($dsn, $user, $pass,  { RaiseError => 1, AutoCom
+mit => 1 })
or die 'Connexion a la base impossible: ' . DBI->errstr;

[download]
I get the following error : 
DBI connect('XX','xx',...) failed: ERROR OCIEnvInit at xx_dbfunc.pm li
+ne 36

[download]
I'm using perl 5.8.0 on solaris 5.8 .
I have  $DBD::Oracle::VERSION = '1.15' and $DBI::VERSION = "1.42";

Various searches lead me to believe that this is due to the version of DBD::Oracle not being compiled with the proper oracle home directory set.

I do not know where this Perl, DBI and DBD::Oracle come from, but most likely from a standard Solaris package. Has anyone encountred this before, i.e. is there some Solaris doc or changelog that point to this problem ?

Is there an easier way than to re-install the DBD::Oracle ?

Can I assume that installing the latest DBD::Oracle and DBI will allow me to connect to the 9i client ?

Thanks for your help ,
