Just a heads up for those of you on the close-to-the-bleeding-edge. libnsl is 
no longer included with the standard glibc libs with CentOS (and I'm guessing 
also in RHEL 8, and whatever the current Fedora build is) , and the DBD::Oracle 
install fails during make test:

Can't load 
'/root/.cpan/build/DBD-Oracle-1.80-1/blib/arch/auto/DBD/Oracle/Oracle.so' for 
module DBD::Oracle: libnsl.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file 
or directory at /usr/lib64/perl5/DynaLoader.pm line 193.
 at -e line 1.
Compilation failed in require at -e line 1. 

fortunately it’s still in the repo, so yum install libnsl fixes it.
