That was my first reaction too, but the sys admins and DBAs think
that we might run into fewer problems by sticking with what
appears to be Oracle's vetted version of Perl and DBD. My
application is only going to talk to Oracle and will be hosted on
a machine with Oracle installed, so it seems like a reasonable
argument. But it's hard to say how much thought Oracle Corp
gives to configuring their Perl distribution. And you know it is
*always* going to be behind the curve in terms of the currently
available Perl version.

Yup. A problem I've seen is that with every version of Oracle it
seems that the libraries move around. I'm wondering if @INC will
always need to be fixed as well.

Thanks for the tips and perspective.
