Not sure how to fix this problem. I was trying to run a script that been running fine for some time and I started getting errors about missing modules. A few I've been able to install, some others won't. Carp and DBD::Oracle in particular. For DBD::Oracle, I get this message: 
dbdimp.c:1211: error: `OCI_ATTR_MODULE' undeclared (first use in this 
+function)
dbdimp.c: At top level:
dbdimp.c:34: warning: 'dbi_get_state' defined but not used
make: *** [dbdimp.o] Error 1

  /usr/bin/make -- NOT OK
CPAN: YAML loaded ok (v0.81)
Running make test
  Can't test without successful make
Running make install
  Make had returned bad status, install seems impossible

For Carp, I get this:

CPAN: Parse::CPAN::Meta loaded ok (v1.4401)
CPAN: CPAN::Meta loaded ok (v2.110930)

I tried to force the install, cpan -f install DBD::Oracle, but I get the same message. I even tried reinstalling Perl, but no joy. Please help.
