I encountered a very similar problem to this on a Windows XP machine. I had ActiveState perl 5.6 installed. I upgraded to 5.8.2 and installed DBI from the standard repository and the 5.8.2 DBD-Oracle from ftp.esoftmatic.com/outgoing/DBI/5.8.2. I got the same error described by the original poster. I found that the solution that worked for me was to uninstall perl and completely erase the perl directory. I reinstalled perl, DBI, and DBD-Oracle and everything works just fine now.

Are you sure you: a) Didn't have the Oracle.dll loaded so that ppm failed to overwrite it? (reboot and re-run ppm should fix it, I would think) b) On one machine, when I overwrote 5.6.1 (build 63x) with 5.8.2 (808), it asked me to reboot, did you? I *just* installed a fresh 808 on a machine, did the ppm and ran a test script that did a select * from tab. It worked.
