Even if your environment is limited, it's still likely that the full Oracle suite is installed locally. And, wonder of wonders, the Oracle installer includes both Perl and DBD::Oracle. To use them on AIX, I use:

#!/bin/ksh
export LIBPATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib32:$LIBPATH PERL5LIB=$ORACLE_HOME/perl/lib:$ORACLE_HOME/perl/lib/site_perl
exec $ORACLE_HOME/perl/bin/perl -x "$0" "$1" "$2" "$3" "$4" "$5" "$6" "$7" "$8" "$9"; exit
#!perl

    use DBI;

my $dbh = DBI->connect("dbi:Oracle:", $username, $password);

print "Hello world.\n";

This is just a compressed version of $ORACLE_HOME/bin/asmcmd. If you want the complete version, you may wish to look a that instead
