Try any version instantclient 10 that should work.
There is no benefit in using the 11 instant client with any DBD::Oracle
as a matter of fact there are a still few bugs in 11ic the DBD::Oracle
hits and with 11ic you cannot connect to an Oracle db earlier than 10g.

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.
Thanks John.
Well, it turns out that isn't the only problem I'm bumping into now. I
grabbed DBD-Oracle-1.17 and now I get this:
$ sha1sum Makefile.PL

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

WARNING: Oracle /usr/share/oracle/11.1/client/demo.mk doesn't define a
'build' rule.
WARNING: I will now try to guess how to build and link DBD::Oracle for you.
This kind of guess work is very error prone and
Oracle-version sensitive.
It is possible that it won't be supported in future versions
of DBD::Oracle.
*PLEASE* notify dbi-users about exactly _why_ you had to
build it this way.
invalid top directory at /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.5/File/Find.pm line 585.
Looking at Find.pm, it just looks like the directory isn't being
passed properly(?)
$ vi /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.5/File/Find.pm
[...]
583 sub _find_opt {
584 my $wanted = shift;
585 die "invalid top directory" unless defined $_[0];

Copying Makefile.PL from 1.17 to 1.16 and trying it yields the same
error. Other ideas are most appreciated!
