Sanjay,
 
if you wish to connect to the listener on port 1523, put that in the
connect string
 
$dbh = DBI->connect("dbi:Oracle:host=myhost.com;sid=ORCL;port=1523",
$user, $passwd);  
 
HTH,
Duncan.

Yes you are right that there are two listener Running. Listener 1521
show both db1 and DB2 even I am running different listener for DB2 with
Port 1523.
 
So this might be the reason that perl script is working fine. If you see
the document from Perl, it shows that it will also check for 1526. Is
1521 and 1526 are kind of default port if they are not specified.
 
TIA

        You have 2 listeners ? One of them happen to listen on port 1521
? Does the database in question show up if you query the services of
that listener (lsnrctl serv <listener_name_on_port_1521>) -- perhaps the
database registered itself on that listener without you knowing.

                It is working and I am trying to understand as how it is
making connection even the Port is not defined. On Remote DB server, I
am running two listener. How this program use SID defined in Perl to
connect to correct instance.

                        My guess is it won't make a connection except
for the default ports.  What happens if you try it yourself with a small
program?

                        Hi
                         
                        I am working on exsiting Perl program and found
that it is usinf DBI to connect to Remote Database . The string used to
connect the Remote database doesn't have PORT. Connection is going fine.
Remote database is listening on PORT 1523 and not the Default 1521. 
                         
                        I checked the Manual and it says the following
but still not clear as if it only check on 1521 and 1526 or others. Any
ideas as how it will work if Port is not specified like even shown below
in the Doc statement 

                        Connecting without environment variables or
tnsname.ora file 

                        If you use the host=$host;sid=$sid style syntax,
for example: 
                          $dbh =
DBI->connect("dbi:Oracle:host=myhost.com <http://myhost.com/>
;sid=ORCL", $user, $passwd);  
                        then DBD::Oracle will construct a full
connection descriptor string for you and Oracle will not need to consult
the tnsname.ora file. 
                        If a port number is not specified then the
descriptor will try both 1526 and 1521 in that order ( e.g., new then
old). You can check which port(s) are in use by typing
"$ORACLE_HOME/bin/lsnrctl stat" on the server. 
                         
                        Sanjay
