It's not really just because it is not generally a good idea, as far as
I remember
In order for it to work at all  you have to compile any additional
modules (or DBI and DBDs anyway) with the same compiler that perl was
built with. Generally that is not available or practical.
Get your own perl but make sure you don't install it over the one that
is there that is generally a bad thing.

Dunno if this is relavant but when I installed the Linux version of the Oracle 10gR2 client, it included Perl 5.8.3 with the DBI and DBD::Oracle modules alreday compiled and ready to go.
