Well I went ahead and ran cpan to install ODBC::Oracle and it says...
The DBD::ODBC module needs to link with an ODBC 'Driver Manager'.
(The Driver Manager, in turn, needs one or more database specific
ODBC drivers.
The DBD::ODBC module does _not_ include any ODBC drivers!)
so it is pretty obvious I do need at least a driver. Will I need
a driver manager?
