The procedure entry point Perl_Glookhook_ptr could not be located in the dynamic link library perl58.dll

This type of error can arise if the ppm package was built using a version of perl-5.8 other than 5.8.0 (in which case it's not your fault). However, none of my perl58.dll's export that symbol, so I'm unable to verify that's the problem here.

Where did you get this ppm package ? As an alternative, try firstly: 
ppm remove DBD-Oracle

[download]
followed by: 
ppm install http://trouchelle.com/ppm/DBD-Oracle.ppd

[download]
which should give you version 1.19.

Cheers,
Rob
