You can check if they are installed by:

perl -mDBD::Oracle -e ""
perl -mDBI -e ""

If they are not installed, you'll need to use ppm (or ppm3) to download them.
I'm not a windows user, but I'd be surprised if you couldn't tell ppm to download
to a specific directory (something like ~/lib/perl).

Remember you'll need to update your PERL5LIB to include ~/lib/perl

You'll have better success with this question on the dbi mailing list. http://dbi.perl.org/
