Re: perl DBI oracle and error ORA 06502
It could be in perl but if this is the case I would need the exact 
procedure, schema, some data and the exact perl code that calls it.

However to start please set the dbh->debug(6) before you call your code 
and send me the results. There might be
a var that Perl is croaking on and this is one way to see where it dies. 

Again I do not hold out much hope for this as it is a Oracle error that 
is being returned not a DBI/DBD one.

I would also need  the name of and version your OS, perl, DBI, 
DBD::Oracle, The Oracle client you are running and the Oracle DB itself

cheers
