You don't mention the version of Oracle client that you have installed.
If it doesn't match the version the DBD::Oracle was compiled with, it
will not work.
If you got the DBD::Oracle from ActiveState, there's a pretty good
chance it will not work.
Try ftp://esoftmatic.com/outgoing/DBI for a DBD::Oracle compiled
against more recent versions of Oracle.
Or maybe http://ftp.esoftmatic.com/DBI
Then join the DBI users group, as that is a better forum for DBD::Oracle
specific questions.
http://lists.perl.org/
Unfortunately, all the servers mentioned seem to be down at the moment.
