Naturally you are still getting the error, just copying Oracle.pm to
some random directory is not sufficient, you need to Makefile.PL, make
compile, make test, and make install in accordance with the instructions
in README.

Because most MSWin machines don't have the right compiler, ActiveState
provides pre-compiled packages to install using PPM. Since those aren't
always up to date, you might have more luck with packages from
http://ftp.esoftmatic.com/DBI/, get both DBI and DBD::Oracle from there
so the versions will be compatible.
