Perl-Oracle-Apache userid problem

I'm having a problem trying to access a perl script that is connecting to an Oracle 8.1.7 database through Apache. I'm on an AIX UNIX machine, and I don't know a whole lot about Oracle (ok, pretty much nothing) but I've successfully written Perl scripts to access DB2 and MySQL through a web interface on both Apache and IIS.

Here's the problem: I can run the script under my userid from the UNIX shell and it access a test table that I setup, but when I try to access the page through the browser it doesn't hit the database. I've tried specifying my userid explictly through the connect statement but it doesn't work - it gives me an invalid userid/password All of the apache httpd daemons are started under the oracle userid on the system...the reason I mention that is because I'm thinking maybe it has something to do with a user visiting the web site and not having the proper authority to access the page, but it executes the other general print statements in the perl script.

Thanks,
