It can very easily be resolved by printing out your @INC with the same perl installation you are trying to install DBD::Oracle with. Are you specifying the full path, so that it uses the 5.6 version for intall and have you done the same for DBI. Remember that when you use a non standard directory for installation it is not in @INC, and therefore can't be found until you modify @INC.
