thmsdrew has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I'm trying to use DBI in a script on a client to connect to an Oracle database separate from the client. It fails when trying to connect, due to an issue where it is looking for a library that it can't find. I assume this is because Oracle isn't actually installed on the client. Is there a way I can mimic an Oracle install such that the Perl side of things will have everything it needs? Is there something I can configure somewhere to do something like this? Or do I actually need Oracle installed on the client for this to work?
