What do you think the problem is?

I really have no idea, hence why I've not posted.

From the trace it looks like the call to the db completed successfully: "dbd_st_execute CREATE returned (SUCCESS, rpc2211750915, fn1, out0)" which probably points to a bug in the DBI/Oracle driver.

I think the OP will need advice from a DBI/Oracle expert.

Though I do wonder if this might have something to do with it:

"For a non-SELECT statement, execute returns the number of rows affected, if known. If no rows were affected, then execute returns "0E0", which Perl will treat as 0 but will regard as true. Note that it is not an error for no rows to be affected by a statement. If the number of rows affected is not known, then execute returns -1."

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
