in thread What are DBD::Oracle's dependencies (on Linux)?

It is possible to run DBD::Oracle with the Oracle Instant Client after DBD::Oracle has been built with the development headers. Oracle has said they are going to release an SDK for Instant Client that can build DBD::Oracle. Last I heard about that was few months ago; I guess they move slowly.

Also, I had success in not using the Oracle installer and pulling the needed files out of Oracle database distribution archives.
