  What exactly are you trying to do?  If you want to use DBD::Oracle a
  linux perl will be needed, basically you will need to install linux_dist-gentoo-stage3
  do a change root and compile perl, DBD::Oracle...etc.  You can always run
  a Proxyserver somewhere and use DBD::Proxy to connect to Oracle.
