in thread setting environment variable issue

Oracle libraries are loaded when perl is already running1, while loading DBD::Oracle. So you can modify %ENV inside Perl, as long as you do so before loading DBD::Oracle. Typically, you would use a BEGIN block in the main script, before the use DBI / use DBD::Oracle lines.
