"Can't load Oracle.dll" is often a symptom for a missing OCIW32.DLL.
Oracle.dll loads OCIW32.DLL at startup, if that fails, loading
Oracle.DLL fails, hence the error message.
OCIW32.DLL is provided by the Oracle client software, newer Versions of
Oracle install this DLL only(?) when you choose
-1.18-RC3.zip
as we are close to releaseing a new version of DBD::Oracle

Subject: DBD-Oracle 1.17 gives "install_driver(Oracle) failed"
I was using Perl 5.6.x (ActiveState Windows port) to connect to Oracle
9i. The modules used then were DBI 1.48 and DBD-Oracle 1.16. I have now
upgraded to Perl 5.8.8 with DBI 1.50 and DBD-Oracle 1.17. The upgrade
was necessitated by the WWW::Babelfish module. Now while I'm able to use
Babelfis
