Try putting the %ENV adjustment in a BEGIN block that executes before you load
the Oracle driver.

You could do one of two things instead of tweaking %ENV in your Perl script:
(1) In your crontab, set the variables in the cronline:
* * * ... BLA=eins BLUB=zwei /usr/local/bin/script.pl
(2) Call a shell script from the crontab that sets up the environment for your
Perl script and then calls it.
I'd go for (2).
