davemI would be amazed if it was possible to use a 32-bit oracle client library
davemwith a 64-bit perl executable.

davemI strongly suspect that's where your problem lies.

Normally I'd agree, but my 64 bit perl is sort of a hybrid: all the perl
binaries and extensions are 32 bit, as is the AIX 5.1 kernel.  It's just
that perl was built to use 64 bit integers and 128 bit floats (and the
128 bit C library), via the -Dusemorebits configure flag.  This differs
from the -V setup H.Merijn just sent because he is using -Duse64bitall,
which gives him 64 bit binaries as well.  Or, such is my understanding.
