Hard to say for sure it could be one of a number of things. First what are the details on your system version of perl and DBI and DBD:Oracle here are a few things to check
Some causes could be 1) You have not installed http://search.cpan.org/~mschwern/ExtUtils-MakeMaker-6.30/lib/ExtUtils/MakeMaker.pm MakeMaker.pl mod 2) It is installed but you do not have proper RWE permission to use it 3) You may not have C++ installed.
