The answer to the problem was supplied by Lincoln Baxter. His suggestion was to use the 64bit Oracle client.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH Lincoln! It is really appreciated. And thank you to all who tried to help. So for the record, the DBD does not work on HPUX with the 64bit OS and the 32bit Oracle client. I expect someone else will be running into this. And thanks to all who tried to help out with suggestions on what I could try.
