You might consider a couple of upgrades.

The current version of DBI on CPAN is 1.40.  

1.20 puts you quite a ways behind.

You might want to upgrade Oracle on your box to at least version
9.2.0.3.

The most current is 9.2.0.4.  There were a lot of changes from the .1
to the .3 release, and IIRC some of them affected building DBD::Oracle.
