That is a very old program. It's using Oraperl, an old interface to an Oracle database. Now we use DBD::Oracle. It could also be DBD::Oracle in Oraperl compatibility mode.

It's calling the ora_open function. &ora_open is an obsolete way to call functions in Perl. The & is no longer necessary. &func and func have subtle differences.

It's passing in the variables $ldp and $rsp and assigning the return value to $ckr. You can read about what those do in the documentation.
