A new Perl 5 database interface for Oracle is being developed but is only an alpha version right now. See ftp.demon.co.uk:/pub/perl/ in the DBI and DBD/Oracle directories. If you want to work with this alpha software please join the perldb-interest mailing list by sending a request to perldb-interest-request_at_vix.com.
