This error usually means you haven't installed the DBD::Oracle driver

To check, do this

ls -la /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.3/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/DBD/

If there is no Oracle.pm module then you haven't installed it .. install it however you install packages on the distro you're running, or do this:

perl -MCPAN -e 'install DBD::Oracle'

Some more info:
http://search.cpan.org/~pythian/DBD-Oracle-1.18a/Oracle.pm

This is a common perl module, and you should find plenty of information about it on google or another list for perl/databases.
