The error message seems to be fairly indicative of the problem.

Have you verified that the Oracle.dll file is installed? If not, you may need to install DBD::Oracle, or use what ActiveState supplies. Use Start->Find->Files or Folders, and search for Oracle.dll, see if it's anywhere on the disk drive.

You should also verify that you can connect to the Oracle server with an interactive utility. mySQL has the command line utility called 'mysql'. I imagine there is something similiar for Oracle.
