While you're at it, I'd like to see some more changes:
* make /usr/share/oracle not hardcoded but variable
We're running Oracle & perl on a few Unix boxes without a
/usr/share/oracle, so it seems it's not required in some cases.  Our
install is in /usr/oracle, and there's no oracle link in /usr/share.

There is a (huge) difference between a full Oracle install (server) or
an Instant Client only. I prefer the latter if the box is to be client
only, because it is much smaller.

* make Instant Client work on windows too (Windows instant client works

  C:\Oracle\instantclient_11_1, but it does NOT work at all when

Sorry, I only do perl on Unix.

So want I, but those silly customers ...

That being said, I think Oracle on Windows is still easier than Oracle
on AIX, which is even worse.

That being said, Postgres is easier on *any* platform (and faster) than
Oracle, but again, those silly customers ...
