Just to close the loop on this.  We found the problem with DBD::Oracle1.15
on perl 5.8.  It is unrealeated to the Patch suggested by Tim Bunce on the
DBI mail list.  After  pursuing that Non-domestic fowl for a while,  we
noticed that the oci.def file included with the source contains no reference
to "OCILobWriteAppend".  so:
Remove liboci.a (created when you run "perl Makefile.pl",  but not removed
on "clean").
Add: OCILobWriteAppend to the oci.def file.

and everything should work.  ( at least it does for us)
