Maybe I am missing something, but it looks like
IF instr(v_dir,’\') > 0 THEN
v_slash := ‘\’;
END IF;

isn’t working, for the variable v_dir isn’t initialized.

Makes you wonder why they can’t add this to UTL_FILE
PS. Jan, XE doesn’t have a JVM.

“Your database doesn’t contain a JVM, so the use of some simple JAVA is out of the question.”

Well in fact – it does, so you could if you really wanted to.
