You may have some "quirk" going on with DBD::Oracle - it has a nasty BEGIN block in it which does some nasty stuff... I had a three day head scratch with this module moving from Lucid to Precise as it was not finding the tnsnames files - in the end I had to set up the environment before starting up apache. As the Env settings int the config were not in place when DBD::Oracle was used for the first time. Not sure when it is being used tho' but it took a lot of "root"y hacking to discover the problem!
That rings a bell. I remember having problems when I 'use'ed DBD::Oracle in startup.pl but it worked fine as soon as I didn't try to preload it.
At least worth a try... -Michael
