With instant client you can run into problems if you set ORACLE_HOME so don't. Just set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to the path to where you installed instant client. e.g., I installed instant client in /home/martin/instantclient_11_1 (which is a dir created by unzipping sdk, sqlplus and basic zip files). The I set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to /home/martin/instantclient_11_1 and export it:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/martin/instantclient_11_1:$LD_LIBRARY_PAT
+H
NOTE you really should install the sqlplus package too because a) you can check you can access oracle first before playing with perl and b) DBD::Oracle uses sqlplus (if it exists) to work out your oracle version.
So /home/martin/instantclient_11_1 contains:
adrci libclntsh.so libociei.so ojdbc5.jar SQLPLUS_
+README
BASIC_README libclntsh.so.11.1 libocijdbc11.so ojdbc6.jar
genezi libnnz11.so libsqlplusic.so sdk
glogin.sql libocci.so.11.1 libsqlplus.so sqlplus
and the first part of running Makefile.PL should show something like:
~/svn/dbd-oracle/trunk$ perl Makefile.PL
Using DBI 1.611 (for perl 5.010000 on i486-linux-gnu-thread-multi) ins

Remember to actually *READ* the README file! Especially if you have an
