It is unlikely. Modules with binary components, such as DBD::Oracle, must
be built for compatibility with the perl installation. If you compile
DBD::Oracle for the ActiveState perl build, I doubt it will work with the
Interwoven perl build.
You will need to figure out what compiler was used for the Interwoven
build, and use that same compiler to build DBD::Oracle.
