webservers typically run cgi-bin as the user 'nobody' in a pristine environment.
are your oracle_home and other relevant environment variables set in this environment.
create a "new" cgi-bin called showenv that looks something like:
#!/bin/sh
echo 'Content-type: text/html'
echo
env
and see what the environment looks like, betcha oracle_home at least is not there and others will be missing as well (like tns_admin if you use that, ora_nls if you use that, nls_lang if you use that, oracle_sid and so on...)
