You will have to do with at least DBD 1.17 as it is the first one that
can compile against the Oracle instant client.
You could also compile 1.16 against an older 9 client or it might even
work with the enterprise 10 client.
One last hope it to get the Makefile.PL from 1.17 and run it against
1.16 DBD::Oracle. This trick might work.

Greetings,
I'm working with RHEL 4 and having some issues compiling DBD-Oracle
1.16. I'm guessing this may be due to using an older version of
DBD-Oracle, but I cannot upgrade to DBI version 1.51 at this point.
So, here's the details:
$ uname -a

i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
$ perl -v | head -2
This is perl, v5.8.5 built for i386-linux-thread-multi
$ rpm -qa |grep oracle

$ rpm -qa |grep DBI

Now for the real problem...
$ cd DBD-Oracle-1.16
$ perl Makefile.PL -m /usr/share/oracle/11.1/client/demo.mk

Remember to actually *READ* the README file!
Especially if you have any problems.

Does anyone else have DBD-Oracle running in this environment who could
offer some help?
Thanks,
