You will need to get the zipped archives from the Oracle Technology Network website (http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/tech/oci/instantclient/index.html) before building the RPMs, but they are free to download. For DBD::Oracle, check out FreshRPMS. Ther perl-DBD-Oracle package builds nicely on CentOS 4. You can find the source RPM at http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/4/idpl/2864938/com/perl-DBD-Oracle-1.16-4.el4.i386.rpm.html.
