What does your webserver error log say? You should learn how to debug CGI, see Ovid's CGI Course - Resurrected and Updated! and CGI Programming from the tutorials section of this site.

Also please use <code></code> tags around pieces of code. See How do I post a question effectively?.

If you set up Oracle environment variables inside a script that loads the Oracle client libraries, you have to set up the variables before the libraries are loaded:

• You can set up %ENV in a BEGIN block, at least before loading DBD::Oracle implicitly via DBI->connect() or explicitly, better even before loading DBI.
• You can wrap your script in a shell script that sets the variables before passing control to your script via exec.
• You can add PassEnv or SetEnv directives to the Apache configuration.

I prefer the last way, so no script has to be modified and all scripts automatically get the right Oracle configuration.

The below is a piece of code what we have in the environment

#!/usr/bin/perl
use DBI;
use Date::Manip;
#use String::Substrings;
use Fcntl; #The Module


$ENV{'ORACLE_HOME'}="/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/client_1";
$ENV{'LD_LIBRARY_PATH'}="/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/client_1/lib";
print "content-type: text/html \n\n";
print "<font face=verdana size=3><b>Netcool : Historical Report Versio
