[RADIATOR] Oracle 10g client library configuration

[Hugh Irvine]

Hello Everyone -

Following up to this, I have discovered that the most recent versions  
of DBI/DBD-Oracle were the problem.

I have gone back from DBI-1.607 to DBI-1.46 and DBD-Oracle-1.22 to  
DBD-Oracle-1.16 and the problem has been resolved.

Hope this is useful to someone.

regards

Hugh
