Re: PERL DBI connection to Remote Oracle Database

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.
