Re^2: no database driver specified and DBI

print $dsn;
[download]

returns
"dbi:Oracle:host=localhost;sid=nms", 'user', 'password'
which is the results I expected.
As for being horribly wrong... OK? But could you explain?

You need to learn about the difference between a list and a string that looks like a list when printed. Maybe perldata helps you. You need to pass a list to `DBI->connect()`, and not a string that looks like a list when printed. Also, the DSN is not supposed to have quotes in it.	[reply] [d/l]
