I'm running RT just fine off CentOS, and have been for over a year. I checked my Perl installation and I too have that module installed. It's just a Perl module though, and so installing that doesn't mean you need to install an Oracle database. I'm running this off a Postgresql database, also I installed everything manually and have never had to do anything strange other than maybe force a few Perl modules to load here and there. Sometimes Perl installs through CPAN can be a pain and you have to force something. Just my experience with CentOS and RT here, so I'm not sure what you could be doing differently, but I would just load the Perl module if it needs it. It's not going to hurt anything.

Just my two cents...
