I am trying to insert a massive CLOB into an oracle DB and get a "Can't locate object method "prepare" via package DBI::st" errror when executing the command. Now the row does get inserted but the script dies after this error.

Here is a summarized version of the code 

use strict;
use Time::Local;
use warnings;
use Storable;
use Data::Dumper;
use DateTime;
use DBI;
use Digest::MD5 qw(md5 md5_hex md5_base64);
use DBD::Oracle ':ora_types';

# The Connection
#
## Connect to VistaMart DB
my $dbh = DBI->connect("dbi:Oracle:host=$scriptProps{'IVDBHOST'};sid=$
+scriptProps{'IVDBSID'};port=$scriptProps{'IVDBPORT'}", $scriptProps{'
+IVDBUSER'}, $scriptProps{'IVDBPASSWORD'},{ AutoCommit => 1 }) or grac
+efulExit($DBI::errstr);
        $dbh->{LongReadLen} = 41943040;
        $dbh->{LongTruncOk} = 1;




#The insert
        $dbh = $dbh->prepare("INSERT INTO vindbase_operator.mobily_vb_
+script_worklistv2 (worklistid, emstype, submitserver, submitdate, sub
+mitowner, state, contents, contentscksum) VALUES (vindbase_operator.m
+obily_vb_script_worklist_inc.nextval,?,?,to_date(?,'YYYY-MM-DD H
H24:MI:SS'),?,?,?,?)");
                $dbh->bind_param( 1, 'samsungWSM' );
                $dbh->bind_param( 2, $hostname );
                $dbh->bind_param( 3, getDateFromEPOC($fileList{$filena
+me}{timestamp}) );
                $dbh->bind_param( 4, $scriptName );
                $dbh->bind_param( 5, 1 );
                $dbh->bind_param( 6, $outFile, {ora_type => ORA_CLOB})
+;
                $dbh->bind_param( 7, md5_hex($outFile) );
                $dbh->execute;
                #$dbh->commit;
                print ">>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>FINNN\n"; #DEBUG


#disconnect
$dbh->disconnect;

The result is that the row gets inserted but the script barfs with the following error. 

Can't locate object method "prepare" via package "DBI::st" at ./samsun
+gWSMv2.pl line 512.
