I am getting a wierd oracle error from my perl script. I am new to perl, and I don't have any clue what causes this DBD error.
The following is my script

$done=0;

unless($pid = fork()) 
{#child
  #This is a simple query that constantly runs on table   like dual at
+ regular intervals

  print $ur->connect() while (!$done) and sleep 5 ;
}

 #calling other methods that loads data to database
 $obj->method1();
  
 $done=1;
[download]

Both parent and child shares the same database handle..
It needs to be so to keep only one oracle session open and make it alive..
But after everything executed, I am getting an oracle error like the following..
ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel (DBD ERROR: OCIStmtExecute/Describe)
Any help will be greatly apreciated. Thanks
