Oracle has been running on the box for a while (I'm not the DB guy so I'm not sure exactly when it was installed, but 9i should be the only version ever on that box). I downloaded and installed Perl from ActiveState on Friday. I chose 5.6 over 5.8 b/c it has some modules precompiled that 5.8 didn't. I downloaded and installed DBI and DBD::Oracle from CPAN Monday. 
perl -e use DBI; use DBD::Oracle; print DBI->VERSION; print "\n"; prin
+t DBD::Oracle->VERSION;'

outputs

1.37
