Using Strawberry Perl (5.18.1) on Windows 7 64-bit I installed DBI successfully, but to connect to Oracle it says I need DBD::Oracle. When I run "install DBD::Oracle from the cpan command I get errors: 
cpan> install DBD::Oracle
prerequisite module[B] not known
Running install for module 'DBD::Oracle'
Running make for P/PY/PYTHIAN/DBD-Oracle-1.66.tar.gz
