Can't connect to remote oracle db

[phil at 1918.com (Phil Buckley)]

Hi,
Does anyone have any experience using perl/DBI to connect to a remote Oracle db?

I'm getting much to frustrated with what I suspected would be a simple routine.

All I really need is the ...

$dbh = DBI->connect("dbi:Oracle:$dbname", $user, $passwd,  
{ RaiseError =>1, AutoCommit => 1}) || die "Unable to connect: $DBI::errstr";

Where do I put in the host in the scenario <aargh> too late, I'll look for answers in the morning.
