Just to get more information, I presume you are talking about the ActiveState perl and DBD::Oracle installed via ppm from their site? I'm also presuming you installed the Oracle Instant client along with (which they do now, but you can skip it, if you have the full client).
Please confirm, so we have better information. I have installed their client, but said "no" when they went to install the instant client...and I don't (yet) seem to have problems (other than the new Database install on Windows injects PERL5LIB environment variables which screws up my configuration badly...)

The symptom is that sqlplus and sqlplusw no longer function, they return almost immediately to the command prompt. This is a know but undocumented problem in oracle. I submitted a tar to get the information. The problem file is 'oraociei10.dll' was not compiled at the correct level. Renaming this file will get sqlplus and sqlplusw functioning again. The file is located in Perl\bin'. There is also a problem with the dbi installation if you have blanks in the path name. The symptom of this is an error message when the license agreement is being displayed.
