How to Install DBD::Oracle in Strawberry Perl

I am trying to install DBD::Oracle using the CPAN shell in Strawberry Perl. I initially experienced an error because the Makefile could not locate an OCI library, so I installed the instant client from Oracle. I thought this would fix the problem, but now I get a large mixture of errors and warnings from Oracle.h, dbdimp.h, Oracle.c, Oracle.xsi, and Oracle.xs.

Any suggestions for how I should proceed? Is it possible that there is a problem with existing Oracle software on my computer? I am fairly new to Perl, so any help is appreciated.

Edit -- I'm including the entire output below:

DBD::Oracle is notoriously difficult to compile, multiplied by Windows, and you're better off just not doing it if you can avoid it. Unfortunately ActiveState does not supply a PPM for it for licensing reasons nor do the other PPM repositories I looked through. Though its rumored that ActivePerl 5.10.0.1003 comes with DBD-Oracle.

If your Oracle server supports ODBC, you can talk to it using DBD::ODBC.

If you want to try, here are some special instructions for installing DBD::Oracle on Strawberry Perl which may be of help.

Strawberry Perl 5.20 (since May, 2014) ships with DBD::Oracle, as long as you install instantclient 11.x version it works out of the box. See http://strawberryperl.com/release-notes/5.20.0.1-64bit.html

Newly added DBD::Oracle - you have to install 64bit Oracle Instant Client 11.x and make sure you have OCI.DLL in your PATH

If you don't have all of the Oracle source (*.h, *.c) files, you can install DBD::Oracle via ppm, just like ActiveState. Or copy the library files from the ActiveState distribution.
