Dynamicly Set ORACLE_HOME?
When compiling DBD, it seems that you must specify an ORACLE_HOME. But what if you have multiple homes, of different releases (e.g., 9.2 and 10.1)? Our testing shows that when you compile DBD for one of these homes, then you run into trouble using perl for the other home. Is there a way to compile the DBD such that perl will pick up the ORACLE_HOME from the users environment -- during runtime?

Re: Dynamicly Set ORACLE_HOME?
This has been asked before unfortunately I do not think it is possible to do exactly what you want. You can have many different instances of perl DBI and DBD of course 1 for each server. By the way you would be much better off posting your question to dbi-users@perl.org (you don't need to subscribe in order to post, and you won't be automatically subscribed either as very few people use this form for dbi or driver support. dbi-users is where you'll get the best support.
