There are several ways to do it. If you *have* to use perl, Try DBPerl or Oraperl. Information on both of these is available at : http://www.bf.rmit.edu.au/Oracle/perlish.html
However I would strongly recommend downloading Oracle Web agent and running it under Apache or any other web server you have. OWArepl is available from http://govt.us.oracle.com. This is a very very clean and efficient solution. It lets you access PL/SQL procedures over the web. Programming for Oracle is much easier and more efficient with PL/SQL than it is in Perl.
The only hard part is installing OWArepl. Once that is properly installed you can go crazy with publishing your data on the web. Let me know if you run into problems. I have done it several times on various platforms and am familiar with all the intricacies by now.
