Well, with some hints from the list and elsewhere, I finally got this
working late yesterday afternoon (Fri) - sorry I didn't re-post then, but
the results were just too fascinating...
But not on my personal m/c (5.8.4 + 2.0.52) where I report in the quote
below. I don't have the Oracle client on that m/c, and IIRC ActiveState's
site said it's not separately available any more. Certainly, I couldn't
find any link on Oracle's site that didn't offer the whole shooting match,
which I felt was Too Much Software. I do have a call in to our official
help-desk, but not at high priority.
My official m/c (combined 5.6.1 + 1.3.27) had come with the 8.1 client
installed, and I finally got the connection to work after installing
DBD::Oracle 1.12 from AS, and changing my source (this is how ignorant I was
last Monday!) $ENV{ORACLE_HOME} from q{/long/complicated/solaris/address} to
q{C:\Oracle\Ora81}, and adding the full host name to the dbh->connect
string. The app had originally been intended only for use on the server
with the actual d-b. I still intend to experiment a little with
ENV{TWO_TASK}, and tidy up the code so it can work both here and on that
server, and also cater both for the remote Oracle, and a local MySQL copy of
it that I intend to make - after I've found how big it is...
Thanks to the list (and Google!) for general nudges and hints rather than
any specific advice, rgds, G.

Do you have the Oracle client installed and does SQL*Plus work?
Thanks,
