This is because you are linking against an older Oracle client, which doesn't have the function OCILobWriteAppend. There is a workaround in the next version of DBD::Oracle (upcoming). The next version will attempt to automatically detect which version of the client you have and will attempt to not use that function if you are running on less than an Oracle 9i client. I'm guessing that the next release will be in a few weeks. If that's not workable for you, the best thing is to (probably) use the SVN version of DBD::Oracle, so that you get the latest pre-release code. Jeff
