The script already has a 'use Oraperl;' line which is all that should be
needed to use the Oraperl emulation that comes as part of DBD::Oracle. The
Oraperl emulation is provided specifically to allow old scripts that use
oraperl calls to continue to work with minimal changes.
A much much bigger problem I see with the script is all the hard-coded
directories in it. You should really run it from an environment that has
all those environment variables already set and includes all those @INC
directories in $PERL5LIB.
A read through of the DBI, DBD::Oracle, and Oraperl manuals ('perldoc DBI',
'perldoc DBD::Oracle', and 'perldoc Oraperl' respectively) would greatly
benefit you. Look especially for mention of login methods and placeholders.
