Thank you all very much. As mentioned, this isn't a mod_perl issue.
That NLS_ variable sounded familiar. I looked in my httpd.conf and found this: PerlSetEnv NLS_LANG american_america.we8iso8859p1 Which controls (among many other things) the default date format. I've moved that line out of the httpd.conf and into my DB connect module and now I get consistant results from scripts and mod_perl apps. Thanks! Jay On 8/25/06, Philip M.

It is a config option, but I've forgotten which you can set this way too -- so you don't break EVERYONE else using the DB $dbh->do("ALTER SESSION SET NLS_DATE_FORMAT = 'yyyy-mm-dd hh24:mi:ss'");
