I'm running 64 bit Windows and 64 bit Perl. Is it possible the DBD
loader is failing because it is trying to load a 32 bit version of the
Oracle driver?
Yes. The "bitness" of Perl and the database libraries must match, not
only for Oracle, but for every database (and every C/C++ library you
want to use from Perl).

Try to get a 64 bit Oracle client, or use a 32 bit Perl.
