But it was already using the fully qualified path, so does it matter if it's in LD_LIBRARY_PATH? In any event, I've added the code to set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH, which now includes the location of Oracle.so and everything that's in my login's LD_LIBRARY_PATH. (It's now printed at the top of the script.) The permissions already allow everyone to read and execute libclntsh.so, and I've now turned on execution for Oracle.so: 

sales% ls -l /homedir/is/mjohnson/lib5/sun4-solaris/auto/DBD/Oracle/Or
+acle.so
-r-xr-xr-x   1 mjohnson is        130316 Feb 20 17:10 /homedir/is/mjoh
+nson/lib5/sun4-solaris/auto/DBD/Oracle/Oracle.so

sales% ls -l /oracle/lib/libclntsh*
lrwxrwxrwx   1 oracle   dba           16 Aug  9  2002 /oracle/lib/libc
+lntsh.so -> libclntsh.so.9.0
-rwxr-xr-x   1 oracle   dba      15202072 Aug  9  2002 /oracle/lib/lib
+clntsh.so.9.0

Is there some other permission that has to be set for nobody?

Is DynaLoader.pm (which I haven't found) the underlying problem?

Thanks for the responses...
