Yes, I am indeed running Solaris. Is it possible to do something like this then, in order for the script to retain control?
#!/app/eol/perl/bin/perl -- # -*-Perl-*-
BEGIN {
unless ($ENV{BEGIN_BLOCK_DONE}) {
$ENV{ORACLE_HOME} = '/common/oracle/product/v8.1.6';
$ENV{LD_LIBRARY_PATH} = "$ENV{ORACLE_HOME}/lib";
$ENV{TNS_ADMIN} = '/common/oracle/env';
$ENV{BEGIN_BLOCK_DONE} = 1;
exec $0 @ARGV;
}
}
use DBI;
$dbh = DBI->connect('','scmuser/scmuser@itopstst','','Oracle');
die $DBI::errstr unless defined $dbh;
I've never run an exec in a BEGIN block... I don't know what possible caveats there may be.
Thanks,
Shendal
Update: Well, I tried it and it still doesn't work. ARGH!

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
