There is a book being written --

                                Alligator Descartes, Tim Bunce / Paperback /
Published 2000

(Not Yet Published -- On Order)

There is a emulation available.
perldoc Oraperl.pm.

Once you have DBI installed and the DBD::Oracle accessing Oracle databases is not differnet
from accessing from any other databases. You can grab any script that accesses databases
using DBI as sample code and make it work. --
