I'm sorry but I can't help you much as I know practically nothing about
build/link/dll issues on windows.

Google ay have some ideas you could explore:
  http://www.google.com/search?q=%22dlopen%3A+Win32+error+127%22

I've CC'd this to perl5-porters in the hope someone could shed some light.

But basically, as far as porting Oracle::OCI to windows goes, you're in
uncharted waters and, judging by the problems I have with DBD::Oracle
on unix, it may be rough sailing.

Good luck.

Tim.
