Are you sure you installed DBD::Oracle using ppm3? Last time I checked ActiveState weren't distributing DBD::Oracle for 5.8.x because of licensing issues. You can still install 5.6 and use ppm to install DBD::Oracle though.
Try the following to make see what you've installed:
(paraphased from the docs)
use DBI;
foreach my $driver( DBI->available_drivers) {
print "\n$driver " . join("\n\t",DBI->data_sources($driver));
}
Just checking: you have read the documentation for DBI, haven't you?

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
