Some of the files you need to build DBD::Oracle are not installed by 
default in Oracle 11. It is usually much easier to install Oracle's 
instant client and it also has the advantage that you are immune to 
upgrades in your main Oracle too.

Download instant client basic, sdk and sqlplus. Unzip them somewhere and 
point your dynamic linker search path to that dir (cannot remember what 
it is for AIX right now, it's LD_LIBRARY_PATH on linux and some other 
unixes and it may be SHLIB_PATH on AIX). Then run perl Makefile.PL. See 
man page for the ld command to find the right env var.
