In the readme for the DBD::Oracle module, it describes three or four environment variables that are necessary for the module to run properly (well, at least compile). Along with this, I am fairly certain that $ENV{LD_LIBRARY_PATH} needs to include the directory to the libclntsh.so file as listed. You may also be able to get away with running ldconfig.

Anyway, you may want to check on the actual existence of the above shared library, as you may have libclntsh.so.X.0 where X may not be 8.

I can't help you with Carp, but it seems like you should review the readme for DBD::Oracle to ensure all the proper environment variables are set. (Edit /etc/profile in RH7 to make them automatically available at every login). Carp may be dying on the error since the DBI generally sends out errors via $dbh->errstr.

ALL HAIL BRAK!!!
