FW: Clarification on DBI

Hi *,
=A0
Long back I have installed ActivePerl-5.6.1.633-MSWin32-x86.exe and the =
supporting files DBI.PPD and DBD-Oracle.ppd in my windows machine. =A0
Today while executing the Perl scripts, I got the below strange error =
which I never got before   =A0

DBI connect ('TEST_HOST,'TEST_UID',...) failed:=A0 at load_test.pl line =
98
Unable to connect to Host at load_test.pl line 98, line 1.=20
=A0
After getting the above error message I have installed the installers on =
some other windows machine but it is working fine. =A0
I don't know the source of the error but I also having the doubt that =
the supporting files (DBI.PPD and DBD-Oracle.ppd) are evaluation/trail =
version?=20
=A0
Could any one have answer for this?
=A0
Thanks in advance,
Prabhu=20
