This is caused by the user executing the script not being part of the dba group. ORA-01031 is insufficient privileges. Who ever is executing the script needs to be part of the dba group or osdba group. HTH.

When using sqlplus, I can use '/ as sysdba' and '/ as sysoper' as the same UNIX user(s). This is on HP-UX 11i, Oracle 9.20, perl 5.8.0, DBI 1.37 and DBD::Oracle 1.14. Thanks, Gal
