You could try specifying the host and sid in the connect string.
That way you only need ORACLE_HOME defined, nothing else.
Something like this:
my $dsn = 'dbi:Oracle:host=grill-name;sid=pork-roast;port=1525';

Subject: Connecting to more than one oracle database
I am running Apache 2.0.55 with mod_perl 2.0.1 and Perl 5.8.1 on
a Sun Solaris machine. I am using DBI/DBD to connect to an Oracle
database. I am running DBI 1.39 and DBD-Oracle 1.16.
In order to connect to an oracle database on a different machine
I have a tnsnames.ora file with the appropriate definition. I also have
a file startup.pl with the following information:
$ENV{ORACLE_HOME} = '/usr/local/ora9i/9.2.0';
$ENV{ORACLE_SID} = 'asdb';
$ENV{TWO_TASK} = 'asdb';
$ENV{TNS_ADMIN} =
'/usr/local/ora9i/9.2.0/network/admin/DEV_wiccdb';
In httpd.conf I have the line
PerlRequire "/www/httpd/conf/startup.pl"
I am currently connecting to an oracle database on a different
machine and everything is working fine. I would now like to connect to
another oracle database on another machine. My problem is how to define
my environment variables. ORACLE_HOME and TNS_ADMIN do not seem to be a
problem since I assume they can be the same. However, how do I define
ORACLE_SID and TWO_TASK so that they allow connecting to 2 different
databases on 2 different machines?
Thanks for any help.
