SetEnv only takes affect at fixup, making ORACLE_HOME not set during
authentication.
use PerlSetEnv, which sets ORACLE_HOME sooner, in time for authentication.
for what it's worth, IIRC, it is best to make sure ORACLE_HOME is set when
DBD::Oracle is compiled, so if you have a startup.pl script that pre-loads
your modules, it might help to have
BEGIN {
$ENV{'ORACLE_HOME'} = "/home/oracle/product/8.1.6";
}
in there too...
