I got it to work finally after a huge help from John Scoles.. I needed the DBD:Oracle for 64 bit and needed to download a full version of Visual Studio that had 64 bit compilers. It appears the Visual Studio C++ express doesn't have the compilers on x86 versions.
After I installed the full version I was able to get Windows Server 2008 64bit, oracle 64 bit and Perl 64 bit to play nice..

If you need to do so, just open a 32 bit command window to run the 32 bit installer from.

I have never built a perl file. I have always just used ppm. So this is the first time running though it. Any help running through a few steps would be appreciated. I have Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition on my laptop.
