You may have some "quirk" going on with DBD::Oracle - it has a nasty
BEGIN block in it which
does some nasty stuff... I had a three day head scratch with this module
moving from Lucid to
Precise as it was not finding the tnsnames files - in the end I had to
set up the environment
before starting up apache. As the Env settings int the config were not
in place when DBD::Oracle
was used for the first time. Not sure when it is being used tho' but it
took a lot of "root"y
hacking to discover the problem!

The path is correct, the script works fine on the command line, and if I
comment out the handler directives in the perl.conf script, put in a

Sounds like some environment variable is not getting passed correctly to
mod_perl. Maybe dump out %ENV from the command line and see if there are
additional vars you need to pass?
Nope, good idea but the vars I need are present, even with the modperl handler
in place. The only ones you need for DBD::Oracle to work are ORACLE_HOME and
LD_LIBRARY_PATH
DBD::Oracle was properly compiled, else it wouldn't work on the command line,
either.
I'd dump out %INC from the command line and mod_perl also to make sure that you
are loading the needed modules. You could try to install DBD::Oracle in
/usr/lib instead of /usr/local/lib also - my guess is that it's looking for the
Oracle.so in /usr/local/lib but it is located somewhere else.
With mod_perl there is just one more, /etc/httpd
command line:
INC-> /usr/local/lib64/perl5
INC-> /usr/local/share/perl5
INC-> /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl

comment out the handler directives in the perl.conf script, put in a
ScriptAlias and process the script as a normal CGI script, it also works.
I'm confident the issue doesn't have anything to do with DBI or DBD::Oracle.
It ONLY fails when the script is executed as a mod_perl handler.
The script itself is very simple; all I do is create a database handle and if
no error is thrown, print 'It works'.
#!/usr/bin/perl
use DBI;
use strict;
my $login="xxxxxx";
my $dbpass='xxxxxxxx';
my $dbname="host=xxx.xxx.xxx.xx;sid=xxx";
my $dbh = DBI->connect("dbi:Oracle:$dbname", $login, $dbpass, {RaiseError =>1});
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print "It Works";
exit;
(and this is just a test , any script using DBI fails with this error.)
What am I missing?
