You should be able to build Perl, DBI, and DBD::Oracle on nearly any
platform that has an ANSI C compiler. I have seen messages here about DBI
in AIX, so S390 UNIX should also be possible.
Perl 5.004_03 is getting a bit old. This would be a good chance to upgrade
Perl to 5.6 as well as installing DBI and DBD::Oracle. You need to be sure
to build DBI and DBD::Oracle with the same compiler and libraries as were
used to build Perl.
Install order is Perl, DBI, and DBD::Oracle. DBD::Oracle is a RDBMS
specific driver for Oracle that is dispatched via DBI method calls.
