install DBD-Oracle on Windows XP using PPM

Tags: Microsoft, Windows XP, Active State PERL 5.10 and Oracle 9i
Hi There,
I am attempting to install DBD-Oracle using ppm 4.0 on a Windows XP computer that has ActiveState version 5.10 installed. I could not do this successfully

These following are the attempts that I made to install the module:
1) Downloaded tar.gz file from CPAN and trying installing and landed into errors as I have no VC++.
2) Tried using PPM GUI interface to identify module and install but did not find the module
3) Tried using Cygwin to install and failed when ran "make"
4) Tried tweaking the make file to use MingW Compiler and landed into troubles.
5) In the command line typed
"ppm install DBD-Oracle"
"ppm install DBD::Oracle"
pm install failed: Can't find any package that provides DBD::Oracle

None of these work and results in the errors
Can anyone help me successfully install DBD::Oracle on Windows XP machine ?

Perhaps the DBD::Oracle perl module hasn't been fully installed,
or perhaps the capitalisation of 'Oracle' isn't right.
