A lot of times this has to with your LD_LIBRARY_PATH. If it is CGI scripts giving you headache then first, try creating a CSH wrapper for the script
#!/bin/csh setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH $ORACLE_HOME/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH myscript --- If that solves it then you could set that in your Apache set up if you are doing CGI, if you had to. But, really, if you set LD_LIBRARY_PATH correctly when you built DBD::Oracle then you should be able to connect later no matter what LD_LIBRARY_PATH is set to (I believe). Try building DBD::Oracle again with $ORACLE_HOME/lib in your LD_LIBRARY_PATH Hope this helps and is not too far off base from your problem.
