Well, it's the same code, I just took out the comments. Edit: anyway, I reinstalled both DBI and DBD::Oracle and I think it's working now. Thanks. 
#!usr/bin/perl

use DBI;
use strict;

#$ENV {"ORACLE_HOME"} ="C:\\oraclexe\\app\\oracle\\product\\10.2.0\\";
#my $file = "npi1.txt";

my $dsn = 'DBI:Oracle:XE';
my $user = 'scott';
my $pass = 'tiger';
my $dbh;
my $sth;
$dbh = DBI->connect($dsn, $user, $pass, {RaiseError => 1, PrintError =
+> 0}) || die $dbh->errstr;

#open(IN,$file);
#my $line = <IN>;

#my $count = 0;
#while (<IN>)

#{
#    my $n = 'physician';
#    $sth = $dbh->prepare('insert into :table-name (:values)');

    $sth = $dbh->prepare('select npi, entity_type_code from system.phy
+sician where npi = 1326041310');
#    $sth->bind_param(":table-name", $n);
#    $sth->bind_param(":values", $_);
    $sth->execute();
#    $count++;
    while( my @line = $sth->fetchrow_array ) {print @line;}
#}

#close(IN);

$sth->finish();
$dbh->disconnect();
