Re: Can't use DBI and mod_perl together in Cygwin.

Apache isn't running as a service and other than this TCP error, works 
flawlessly.

Using the IP address gives the same error.

Here is a more specific description of the DBI error I'm seeing that has
me checking out the TCP/IP stack:
DBI connect('','uid/pass@(DESCRIPTION=
    (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=$host)(PORT=1521))
    (CONNECT_DATA=(SID=$sid)))',...) failed: ORA-12545: Connect failed
because target host or object does not exist (DBD ERROR:
OCIServerAttach) at /var/www/htdocs/bin/testperl.pl line 34
dbi status: ORA-12545: Connect failed because target host or object does
not exist (DBD ERROR: OCIServerAttach)

I've traced my problem to the TCP/IP stack.  The code below gives:
"Can't get tcp protocol by name at
/var/www/htdocs/groups/Purch/bin/secure/test.cgi line 12"
<pre>
#!/usr/bin/perl
use CGI;
use Net::Ping;
$query = new CGI;
print $query->header;
print "&lt;html&gt;&lt;head&gt;&lt;pre&gt;\n";
$p = Net::Ping->new('tcp');
print "$host is alive.\n" if $p->ping("panther2");
print "$host is not alive.\n" if !$p->ping("panther2");
$p->close();
print "&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/head&gt;&lt;/html&gt;\n";
</pre>
The DBD code that won't work from within Apache works fine from the
command line:
 $DBH = DBI-
connect("Apache::DBI::Oracle:",q{uid/password@(DESCRIPTION=
   (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=server)(PORT=1521))
   (CONNECT_DATA=(SID=databaseSID)))}, "");
When this code is called from within the Apache process (within Cygwin),
I invariably get a 12545 error.  Again, the DBI apis work fine from the
Cygwin command-line.  I can connect and run queries without issue so
long as I don't try it within a CGI script.
Pointers?
