'Just move the modules' is not the instruction for installing modules in
ActiveState Perl. Look up PPM in the fine Online Documentation that came
with ActiveState Perl and follow the instructions.
The usual 'perl Makefile.pl ...' process doesn't normally work with
ActiveState Perl, but ActiveState has a large library of pre-built modules
ready for you to use.
Don't forget to install DBI before DBD::Oracle or DBD::Oracle8 (depending on
the version of Oracle client software you have in your system).
