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 
  Babelfish properly, my Perl scripts are not able to connect to the 
Oracle database. The message send to the browser is as follows:

<cut>
install_driver(Oracle) failed: Can't load 
'C:/Perl/site/lib/auto/DBD/Oracle/Oracle.dll' for module DBD::Oracle: 
load_file:The specified module could not be found at 
C:/Perl/lib/DynaLoader.pm line 230.
  at (eval 19) line 3
Compilation failed in require at (eval 19) line 3.
Perhaps a required shared library or dll isn't installed where expected
  at C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/cgi-bin/iLCLP/iLP_Lgn.pl line 270
</cut>

While this is a frequent problem as seen by Google results, solutions 
are rare. Any hints would be welcome.

TIA.
