Using the following code I'm getting "Can't connect to data source "dbi:Oracle:host=localhost;sid=nms", 'user', 'password', no database driver specified and DBI_DSN env var not set at ./test.pl line 9 "
#!/usr/local/bin/perl # Set constants use strict; use DBI; my @array = ('"dbi:Oracle:host=localhost;sid=nms"','user', 'password') +; my $dsn = "@array[0], '@array[1]', '@array[2]'"; my $dbh = DBI->connect($dsn); my $sth = $dbh->prepare("select neid from ne_table"); $sth->execute(); my $arrayref = $sth->fetchall_arrayref(); foreach my $aref ( @$arrayref ) { print @$aref,"\n"; } $sth->finish(); $dbh->disconnect;

I can't find the problem.... If I replace
 my $dbh = DBI->connect($dsn);
with
my $dbh = DBI->connect( "dbi:Oracle:host=localhost;sid=nms", 'user', ' +password');

The script runs fine. I've made a number of attempts to identify the problem but I don't see the anything wrong. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
