Update: I had our unix server tech open an issue with HP on this since we have a maintenance contract. I attempted to use gcc because the perl version installed was compiled with gcc. HP will help if we follow the instructions here: http://h21007.www2.hp.com/dspp/tech/tech_TechDocumentDetailPage_IDX/1,17 01,5672,00.html
Basically upgrading to a perl version compiled with the HP compiler and building DBD-Oracle using that compiler as well. That is our current plan. Thanks to both Peter and Johannes for attempting to help. You were absolutely correct in that my compile environment was a mix of gcc and HP C.
