depends on the database you wish to implement
shown here are the specs for the Perl DBD/DBI version to Oracle version which 
you will want to download

http://search.cpan.org/~pythian/DBD-Oracle-1.23/Oracle.pm#SYNOPSIS


PPM allows you to view all drivers and versions as well as installing 
DBD-Oracle or DBI-Oracle
by placing DBD-Oracle in search and click on install button
and placing DBI-Oracle in search and click on install button

following advice from 
http://www.orafaq.com/wiki/Perl#CONNECT_to_Oracle_with_DBD::Oracle
You need two CPAN modules to enable Oracle connectivity: The first
is the main DBI (DB Interface) module, the other is a DBD (DB Driver)
module. Several DBD modules are available - to support the different
database systems, including Oracle and MySQL. The Oracle module is called 
DBD::Oracle.


 DBI (previously called DBperl) is a database
independent interface module for Perl. It defines a set of methods,
variables and conventions that provide a consistent database interface
independent of the actual database being used.

 DBD::Oracle is the Oracle specific module for DBI. It can be downloaded from 
CPAN (download now).

once installed you will want to execute the version scripts as seen here

                        $ perl -e 
                        'use DBI; print $DBI::VERSION,"\n";'
                        1.50
                        $ perl -e 
                        'use DBD::Oracle; print $DBD::Oracle::VERSION,"\n";'
                        1.17
                        a step by step guide is available at Burleson
