    This is because you are linking against an older Oracle client, which
    doesn't have the function OCILobWriteAppend. There is a workaround in the
    next version of DBD::Oracle (upcoming). The next version will attempt to
    automatically detect which version of the client you have and will attempt
    to not use that function if you are running on less than an Oracle 9i
    client.

    I'm guessing that the next release will be in a few weeks. If that's not
    workable for you, the best thing is to (probably) use the SVN version of
    DBD::Oracle, so that you get the latest pre-release code.
