This is a very well known common issue when using modules from CPAN.I have installed activeperl which comes with in-built dbi.pm module, my system didn't have any perl before activeperl. So, I assume that as soon as the code is executed the .pl file should refer to " /opt/perl/ActivePerl-5.20/site/lib, and /opt/perl/ActivePerl-5.20/lib" by default. But its not happening, instead I am getting below error, 

-------------------------------------------
"Can't locate dbi.pm in @INC (you may need to install the dbi module) 
+(@INC contains: /opt/perl/ActivePerl-5.20/site/lib /opt/perl/ActivePe
+rl-5.20/lib .) at dbi.pl line 1.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at dbi.pl line 1."

Following is the code 
use dbi;
use diagnostics;
use strict;

my $dbh = DBI->connect("dbi:Oracle:host=192.168.0.10", $dbuser, $dbpas
+s)|| die "                                                           
+                             $!";

$db->{AutoCommit}    = 0;

$db->{RaiseError}    = 1;

$db->{ora_check_sql} = 0;

$db->{RowCacheSize}  = 16;

my $SEL = "SELECT * FROM HR";
my $sth = $db->prepare($SEL);
$sth->execute();

while ( my @row = $sth->fetchrow_array() ) {
    foreach (@row) {
        $_ = "\t" if !defined($_);
        print "$_\t";
    }
    print "\n";
}

END {
    $db->disconnect if defined($db);
