So the problem would lie in how Java connects to your database, as opposed to how TOAD and Perl connect to your database.

This is not really a Perl problem. If you are using the Oracle database drivers, you will have to find out what versions the Java program is using and what versions TOAD and Perl are using. Also, make sure that both tests connect to the same database instance. Maybe inspecting the logfiles of JDBC and ODBC or the direct connection, or in the worst case, inspecting a network dump can tell you what the difference is between the two cases.

You haven't shown us enough of your SQL to determine whether this could be a characterset encoding issue, but as this is not a Perl problem, this site isn't really the place to debug your SQL.
