I came across a new one that I haven't seen and I've done a search here, and on CPAN, and on Deja.com and have no luck. Has anyone seen this error:
OCIEnvInit
It's during the connection to Oracle. I have used the same exact perl code on other similar server configurations and I know it works (reason for not posting the code again), but now I have to do a test run on one of our development servers and it's not working... maybe I'm missing something? My past postings have all been database connection issues and I have learned a lot from you all, so if there's anything else maybe I'm missing.. another pair of 'eyes' would help.
FYI - W2K platform, Oracle8i, Latest verson from ActiveState Perl (5.6.*), PPMs: DBI and DBD-Oracle8 from ActiveState
Thanks in advance for any input, or help, or anything.
