You also need certain Oracle library files (can't recall offhand which) installed on the same machine as your Perl installation, otherwise DBD::Oracle won't run.

IIRC correctly at least on Linux it should be possible to extract the relevant file(s) from the Oracle installation tar if you don't want to do a full Oracle installation.
