How are you opening these cursors? Are they explicitly opened inside of function/procedure calls or are you opening and closing them in SQL passed to DBI?

If the former, make sure the functions and procedures you call properly close their own cursors. If the latter, make sure you close your own cursors.

I'm currently running many large PL/SQL programs (with many cursors) on AIX running Oracle 9i and have not encountered any max cursor problems. What platform and version of Oracle are you running?
