Hello and good morning.

I am attempting to install the Perl module DBD::Oracle and the problem I am having is that it only installs under root after compiling! I am wanting it to install in a standard path that exists in my @INC array like /usr/local/lib64/perl5. 

[root@server ~]# find / -name Oracle.pm 
/root/perl5/lib/perl5/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/DBD/Oracle.pm

[download]

I have tried to set the PREFIX when running perl Makefile.PL but that does not appear to have any affect.

Here are the steps I am taking. The odd thing is this issue didn't occur when I did this install on the test server prior to production :(

There are no errors during make or make test just some minor warnings which also were present during the test install which was successful.


cd /root/.cpan/build/DBD-Oracle-1.74-XSQX0x/
export C_INCLUDE_PATH="/home/oracle/product/12.1.0.2/sdk/include"
export ORACLE_BASE=/home/oracle
export ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_BASE/product/12.1.0.2
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/oracle/product/12.1.0.2/lib

perl Makefile.PL 'PREFIX=/usr/local/lib64/perl5'
make
make test
make install

I have also tried setting some values in CPAN such as makepl_arg and PREFIX.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
