  Where might one get said DBD driver?

  I've never used Oracle with Perl, but I know both the DBD::mysql and
DBD:Pg drivers need the native C libraries to work.  So, I went and looked
up DBD::Oracle on CPAN, and it says it uses the"Oracle Call Interface
libraries", which I presume are part of the Oracle client set.
