If you have ActivePerl installed on the NT machine, you can use the pre-built ASPSN zip archives for the DBI and DBD modules. They are located here: http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Downloads/ActivePerl/PPM/Zips/

Using this set up I have perl scripts running on my NT workstation that access Oracle Databases on UNIX machines.

There is some set up involved with the Data Sources control panel
