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

DBD::Y which was not built with DBI version X, can cause issues...

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
