How can I connect to Oracle from Perl?
We have Oracle Server "Oracle version: 10.2.0.4.0 - 64bit". I like to connect to this server with Perl from my RHEL machine. I can connect via sqlplus successfully. I can use 32 bit or 64 bit Perl. I have few questions.
What files should I download from Oracle.com and where should I install them?
What are the environment settings or which path should I set?
What are the configuration changes or Makefile parameter changes I have to make in order to properly install the DBD :: Oracle module?
Thanks.

Please ignore the previous answer as it is outdated.
All you need to download is the "Instant Oracle Client" for Linux: http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/tech/oci/instantclient/htdocs/linuxsoft.html
This gives you what you need to create a Perl module.
You will find the following in the installation guide: http://duberga.net/dbd_oracle_instantclient_linux/
(I'm sure there are others)
