Just to help complete the picture, there could also be a problem with your database driver. When running Perl 5.6.1, DBIx::CF 1.02 and an old version of DBD::Oracle, my error logs were filling up with annoying warning messages virtually identical to the one you reported. Following advice that Tim Bunce gave to someone else on another list, I upgraded to DBD::Oracle 1.16 (latest) and the warnings went away.
