Yes.the program ran from a command line and it also worked with "require".It doesnt work only if I put it in startup.pl . i am also not able to get an error message because it works everywhere.

    I think I see the problem. Your use statement is being executed before you set ORACLE_HOME. Try this (use Apache is not needed): 
    BEGIN {
    $ENV{ORACLE_HOME}='/home/';
}
use Apache::DBI();
use DBI();
use DBD::Oracle();
use Apache::MyModule;
