Calling SQL*Loader from PERL; Message 2100 not found

Question

I am trying a simple PERL script to call sqlldr and load data into an Oracle 10G database. I get the error message:
Message 2100 not found; No message file for product=RDBMS, facility=UL
Many forums have said the answer to this is to set environment variables like ORACLE_HOME and PATH. Even having done that I get this error. My script looks like:
#!E:\CommonApps\Perl\Perl\bin -w
$ENV{ORACLE_HOME}='E:\CommonApps\oracle';
print "Oracle HOME is: ";
print $ENV{ORACLE_HOME};
print "\n";
$ENV{PATH} = 'E:\CommonApps\oracle;E:\CommonApps\oracle\bin';
print "Path is ";
print $ENV{PATH};
print "\n";
if ($#ARGV != 7) { print "Incorrect Usage of runsqlldr\n";print "Usage: perl runsqlldr.pl dbuser dbpass dbname datafile discard ctlfile logfile badfile \n"; exit; }
$dbuser=$ARGV[0];
$dbpass=$ARGV[1];
$dbname=$ARGV[2];
$datafile=$ARGV[3];
$discard=$ARGV[4];
$ctlfile=$ARGV[5];
$logfile=$ARGV[6];
$badfile=$ARGV[7];
if (system("sqlldr userid=$dbuser/$dbpass\@$dbname control=$ctlfile data=$datafile=log=$logfile bad=$badfile discard=$discard SKIP=1 ERRORS=10000 ROWS=10000 BINDSIZE=512000 PARALLEL=TRUE") != 0) {
die "\n Running sqlldr failed!\n";
exit 0;
Is there anything else I need to do to make this work? The E:\CommonApps\oracle\rdbms\mesg directory has 3 files: kgpus.msb, ocius.msb, oraus.msb.
Thanks
Arvind
