 Had a look at this a few days ago, meant to post the results to the DBI mailing list, I'll do that in a minute. I've successfully built it using:

 perl Makefile.PL -l

 This goes for the alternate "direct link" approach that doesn't need the makefile. There are then a couple of odd test failures in the array interface tests - haven't got to the bottom of them yet, but for the most part it passes the tests and appears to work OK.

 Don't know yet whether the array interface test failures are a bug in DBD::Oracle, in Oracle, or a backwards compatibility break in the OCI interface.

 The disappearance of the makefiles is odd; they're still referenced in the documentation. Possibly they've moved to the "examples" download, I'm getting that now to see.
