    Duh!!

    Okay got it installed ... no thanks to clueless!
    download the Oracle client
    yes I also downloaded the sdk and unzipped them to 'C:\Oracle'(pun not intended). Next I set ORACLE_HOME to C:\Oracle\instantclient_21_3 as that is where the contents of the zips went. Selecting a 64 bit perl (Many THANKS to berrybrew!) I started cpanm and ... waited with bated breath.

    cpanm DBD-Oracle-1.82.tar.gz
    --> Working on DBD-Oracle-1.82.tar.gz
    Fetching file://D:\Downloads-Archive\Software\Perl\DBD-Oracle-1.82.tar.gz ... OK
    Configuring DBD-Oracle-1.82 ... OK
    Building and testing DBD-Oracle-1.82 ... OK
    Successfully installed DBD-Oracle-1.82
