You need
DBI
DBD::Oracle
It's been a while, so the following information might be outdated:
On the Oracle side, I recommend a full install, because the build
process for DBD::Oracle needs header files that are hidden somewhere in
the example code packages of Oracle. We never really managed to figure
out which option in the Oracle installer actually contained the missing
headers :-)
The 'make test' part of DBD::Oracle tries to connect as 'scott/tiger' -
which I was told was a test user in old versions of Oracle - by default,
so you need to set ORACLE_SID to an existing test user.
Other than that, everything works pretty much as expected.
