Download DBI, abd DBD-Oracle from activestate. You should use the ppm module to do this, as it will get all the dependent modules downloaded and installed for you.

In your System->Environment tab, you will need to create an ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_SID environment. You will also need to have an Oracle clin\ent install on your Windows server, adn SQL*Net configured on this same machine.

Good luck.
