I had similar problems Apache 2.2 with DBD::Oracle, after serious 
debugging there
was a nasty environment variable issue - DBD::Oracle when first 'use'd 
was not
finding the appropriate oracle environment variables, and consequently 
wasn't
pulling in oracle defaults (and reading things like tnanames file) and 
then caching
the broken values - subsequent 'use's were failing because it wasn't 
reading the
oracle config from disk - but using it's own cached values from the 
first "use"..
