If you had supplied us with information about your configuration... What is the version of DBD, DBI, perl? What are the error messages?
Can you reach the server with sqlplus?

Possible sources of error are:

- Incompatibility issues
- Firewall or network issues
- Name resolution (ORACLE_SID->hostname)
- Wrong connect string 
- Listener not started
