the oracle install is a real PITA. Install oracle install client for, I think in your situation, 64 bit perl, and for your platform. Downloadable for free from oracle.com, after nagging you to create an account with user/pw. Before doing anything with the perl install, verify that you can connect to an oracle db with instantclient. I did something like this 
$ cat oracle-env.sh
export INSTANT_CLIENT_PATH=/home/oracleInstalls/10.2/instantclient_10_
+2
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$INSTANT_CLIENT_PATH
export PATH=$INSTANT_CLIENT_PATH:$PATH
export TNS_ADMIN=/opt/oracle
export ORACLE_HOME=$INSTANT_CLIENT_PATH
export ORACLE_USERID='user/password'
#export ORACLE_DSN='mydb2.myhost' # this dien't work
export ORACLE_DSN='dbi:Oracle:host=myhost;sid=mydb2' # necessary to ge
+t make test to work in dbd::oracle

#needed for sqlplus
export TWO_TASK=mydb2.myhost
export ORACLE_SID=mydb2


alias go-dbd-oracle='cd /usr/cpanroot64/.cpan/build/DBD-Oracle-1.18'
#$dbh = DBI->connect("dbi:Oracle:host=myhost.com;sid=ORCL", $user, $pa
+sswd);
alias the-sqlplus='sqlplus user/password@mydb2.myhost'

After I verified that I could commit to sqlplus, I cd-ed into the build dir for DBD::Oracle and force-installed.
