Well you have no use strict; use warnings; in this code, and you use CGI; but never actually use it (consider the latter have of my previous advice. Also a templating system such as HTML::Template may be worth looking into regarding separating your HTML from your perl code.

On to Oracle matters. At work we use Solaris 10, perl 5.8.8 (I know, I'm working on it) and Oracle 10. IIRC I built DBD::Oracle and had no issues (I can check my exact steps tomorrow morning). We use DBD::Oracle a lot, and out main perl app is a CGI::Application. In the morning I'll post again with some specifics. Until then could you please post how you installed DBD::Oracle, perhaps a perl -V (note the upper case V) as well?
