You mean like in the README file, under "*BEFORE* BUILDING, TESTING AND
INSTALLING DBD::Oracle:" where it says:
Install enough Oracle software to enable DBD::Oracle to build.
For Oracle Instant Client: that means install the following
packages:
* The "Basic" package for the essential Oracle libraries.
* The "SDK" package for the headers and makefile.
* The "SQL*Plus" component is optional, but will help you check
your configuration and DBD::Oracle determine your Oracle
version.
For full Oracle installs: that usually includes Pro*C and SQL*Net.
(That's not very specific because it varies between Oracle
releases.)
The ORACLE_HOME environment variable must point to the Oracle Home
used to create DBD::Oracle. (Not essential under MS Windows).
*** MOST IMPORTANTLY:
Make sure Oracle is working and you can use the Oracle sqlplus
command to talk to the database from the machine you
want to build DBD::Oracle on. This often involves setting
environment variables like PATH, LD_LIBRARY_PATH, TWO_TASK etc.
Consult Oracle documentation for more details.
Only once you can connect to Oracle using sqlplus
should you try building and testing DBD::Oracle.
