Can't use DBI and mod_perl together in Cygwin.

I've traced my problem to the TCP/IP stack. The code below gives:
"Can't get tcp protocol by name at
/var/www/htdocs/groups/Purch/bin/secure/test.cgi line 12"
<pre>
#!/usr/bin/perl
use CGI;
use Net::Ping;
$query = new CGI;
print $query->header;
print "<html><head><pre>\n";
$p = Net::Ping->new('tcp');
print "$host is alive.\n" if $p->ping("panther2");
print "$host is not alive.\n" if !$p->ping("panther2");
$p->close();
print "</pre></head></html>\n";
</pre>
The DBD code that won't work from within Apache works fine from the
command line:
$DBH = DBI->connect("Apache::DBI::Oracle:",q{uid/password@(DESCRIPTION=
(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=server)(PORT=1521))
(CONNECT_DATA=(SID=databaseSID)))}, "");
When this code is called from within the Apache process (within Cygwin),
I invariably get a 12545 error. Again, the DBI apis work fine from the
Cygwin command-line. I can connect and run queries without issue so
long as I don't try it within a CGI script.
Pointers?
