A while back when i was doing similar stuff i found a few perl-dbi-dbd:oracle code snippets here that were very usefull to me. I believe the one you're after is similar to this :
use strict;
use DBI; my $dbh = DBI->connect(
    'dbi:Oracle:orcl',
    'jeffrey',
    'jeffspassword',
    {
        RaiseError => 1,
        AutoCommit => 0
    }
) || die "Database connection not made: $DBI::errstr"; my $rv; #holds 
+the return value from Oracle stored procedure
eval {
    my $func = $dbh->prepare(q{
        BEGIN
            :rv := jwb_function(
                parameter1_in => :parameter1
            );
        END;
    });
 
    $func->bind_param(":parameter1", 'Bunce');
    $func->bind_param_inout(":rv", \$rv, 6);
    $func->execute;
 
    $dbh->commit;
}; if( $@ ) {
    warn "Execution of stored procedure failed: $DBI::errstr\n";
    $dbh->rollback;
} print "Execution of stored procedure returned $rv\n"; $dbh->disconne
+ct;

The binding of out vars happens here : $func->bind_param_inout(":rv", \$rv, 6);. The DBI assigns the return value to a reference ($rv). If i remember correctly, '6' is the number of bytes to use or the datatype (not sure on this, check the docs)
