These are telling you you need to use my and declare these things...

For instance:

$dbh = DBI -> connect("DBI:Oracle:".$var1,$var2,$var3) || die ("not connected:DBI::errstr");

should be

my $dbh = DBI -> connect("DBI:Oracle:".$var1,$var2,$var3) || die ("not connected:DBI::errstr");


And what are you doing with this?:
while(@row=$sth->fetchrow_array())       #Fetch the number of rows
{                                        #returned by the query
   $values=$row[0];
   print "@row\n";
}

I'm not too familiar w/ DBI, but it looks to me like are storing each row of the query results into @row , then storing first element of @row (which needs to be declared w/ my first) into $values (which also needs a my), but are not using $values for anything. Why did you do this?
