It only makes sense to install DBD::Oracle on a box that has the Oracle client available. So only install DBD::Oracle on a box that has the Oracle client. If you want to use DBI on a box that doesn't have the Oracle client you can use dbiproxy. It should be a relatively easy matter to run the dbiproxy server on the box that has the Oracle client, and set the DBI_AUTOPROXY on the box that doesn't, and the same Perl script can be run on either box. At least, that was my experience a few years ago. Read the documentation for DBI::ProxyServer, as well as DBI.
