I believe you have to go to Oracle to get those.. You can get DBI and even

as I recall, to use CPAN and build modules that work with the Solaris Perl, you
have to have the Sun/Oracle Studio C compiler (formerly called Forte), not GCC,
unless you leap through some hoops.
This used to work, but I've not been down these bunny trails for years and
years : http://search.cpan.org/~aburlison/Solaris-PerlGcc-1.3/pod/perlgcc.pod
... you also need to make sure you installed the full oracle developer stuff
as part of the client.
With Instant Client you have to install the Basic and the SDK packages. The
latter gets the developer header files and libs that DBD::Oracle uses to
compile the c code.
You should probably get the sqlplus package as well as it is used if found, to
determine the version of Oracle client you are using.
Without it, the Makefile might assume you are oracle 8.
