For one piece if the puzzle, you may be interested in CGI::Uploader,
which I wrote. I have tested it with PostgreSQL and MySQL, and believe
Oracle support should be easy to add.

It could handle various documentation types, and supports adding your
own meta data fields and applying custom transformations before storing  
the files (such as virus scanning, etc). 

It doesn't try to be a "complete" application, but it does include a
complete example application which shows how easy it is to use with
CGI::Application.

In my experience, I've found it easier to start with some good building
blocks and build up, and then to start with an existing complete
application, and then start putting a lot of exceptions in it to get
what you want.
