Since you're talking about M$ nmake, I presume you have a Windows box you're putting Perl on. You can get a precompiled version from ActiveState. If you don't get DBI/DBD modules with it, you can use PPM utility to install those.

 

UPDATE: here's one of PPM archives you can add to the list:
http://ppm.activestate.com/PPMPackages/zips/8xx-builds-only/Windows/

In general, google around for PPM Oracle or something like that.
