this should be done from a BEGIN block, exported globally in /etc/profile,
or as a PerlSetVar in httpd.conf - DBD::Oracle needs it at compile time.
It may be in your local .profile, but apache usually runs as user nobody...

this may be a typo, but HTML_1 has to be the at the start of the line - no
spaces...
if you are using a recent version of DBD::Oracle on linux and see an error
that has to do with libclntsh.so check out
http://forum.swarthmore.edu/epigone/modperl/grahsehspor
other than that, DBI->trace and perl.apache.org/guide is your friend :)
