Are you using a Linux compiled Perl? If not you need to use Perl/DBI/DBD::Oracle that are compiled for linux. I did this running under the /compat/linux/bin/bash. I was using the Oracle7 clients(FreeBSD native) from the ports tree to compile a native DBD::Oracle, but support for the Oracle7 is going away soon. I also start a dbi_proxy with the linux compile Perl and connect from the other FreeBSD servers or the native compiled Perl with DBD::Proxy. I wish Oracle would release a native client for FreeBSD, they had one before (Oracle7), they just didn't support it. I realize they will probably never release a supported server for FreeBSD, but a client would be nice.
