This information is now in the DBD::Oracle module pod documentation. Use the 'perldoc DBD::Oracle' command to read it. Note: The test scripts use the ORACLE_USERID environment variable to determine who to login as. It's common to use the Oracle demo user 'scott' with the standard password 'tiger', thus ORACLE_USERID can be set to 'scott/tiger', or set it to your own username and password.
