in reply to DBD::Oracle installation

/opt/oracle/oracle_9i/bin/sqlplus: cannot execute binary file

This is not a minor error. Have you verified that Oracle installed correctly? Like, can you use sqlplus to get to your database? If sqlplus doesn't work, then DBD::Oracle will surely not work.

Do not mistake your goals as the only goals; your opinion as the only opinion; your confidence as correctness. Saying you know better is not the same as explaining you know better.
