Thanks. Here's the code I'm trying..
my $sth = $dbh->prepare("INSERT INTO MY_TABLE(KEY,DATA) values (?,?)")
+;
my $key = 'key_worked';
my $data = 'data_worked';

$sth->bind_param(1, $key, { TYPE=>DBI::SQL_VARCHAR } );
$sth->bind_param(2, $data, { TYPE=>DBI::SQL_VARCHAR } );
$sth->execute;
$sth->finish;

I'm thinking it may be a driver problem, I'm using dbd::oracle::version=1.03.
The error I'm getting is: DBD::Oracle::st execute failed: ORA-01461: can bind a LONG value only for insert into a LONG column
