in reply to DBD Oracle ORA_XMLTYPE Seg Fault

A seg fault implies a bug in one of perl, DBI, DBD::Oracle, or the Oracle drivers (rather than in your code). If possible, upgrade to the newest version of each of those, and if the problem doesn't go away, report it as a bug: probably to the DBD::Oracle maintainers initially.

Dave.
