What info do you get when you run ActiveState's Perl Package Manager and issue the command
search dbd-oracle ? I've got ActiveState Perl 5.6 w/DBI and DBD-Oracle. Not sure if this is a 5.8 specific issue.

However I cannot find a DBD-Oracle ppm or binary install for Win32. Does anyone know where I can get a binary ppm/zip file of DBD-Oracle that I can use ?
