Perl ora_login to Oracle 9.2.0 from Solaris8 give error: OCIEnvInit by greg.tewes

Dist group,

A. Any ideas as to why this would fail?

We relinked Oracle Software since Perl was re-installed.

Oracle Version is 9.2.0

Perl version is -> ./perl -v

This is perl, version 5.005_03 built for sun4-solaris

Following is the code line that fails:

$lda = &ora_login($ORACLE_SID, $ORACLE_USER, $ORACLE_PASSWD) or
die $ora_errstr;

Error String is: ERROR OCIEnvInit at InitSec.pl line 43.

B. There are newer version of 5.005 such as 5.005_57, but how can I
determine if this is something that was fixed in one of the patches?
I could not find a detailed list of fixes for each software release.

Regards,
Greg
