Some of the dependencies can be downloaded from EPEL repository:
http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/5Server/x86_64/repoview/letter_p.group.html

However, the Oracle related dependencies need to be installed via CPAN.
Sorry about that, but I personally do not want to provide Oracle related
packages (given that I need to install Oracle clients for that to the
buildfarm machines)
