 Well you DBI is about 55+ updates behind and your DBD::Oracle is about 13 behind.
 
I would say update both.
 
The error below is telling my you are still using a very old way to connect to Oracle which I think has been dropped in 11+ and dropped from DBD::Oracle in I think 1.11
 
hope this helps
 
Cheers
