You don't need to install everything to use Oracle Client for Linux.
Unfortunately, unlike Windows editions, the Client installation comes as
part of the Enterprise Software package. When you launch the installer, you
are asked whether you want to perform a client or Enterprise install. Choose
the former.

Subject: DBD::Oracle with Oracle client on Redhat Linux 7.1
Hello,
I am trying to install DBD::Oracle on a Redhat Linux 7.1 box for the sole
purpose of connecting to a remote Oracle server. On our Windows boxes we
need to install sqlnet (which we have for Windows) but I can't seem to find
an equivalent for Linux. I have been directed several times to the Oracle
site to download Oracle client software for Linux but everything I've found
has some sort of requirement to install Oracle Enterprise before installing
anything else.
Is there a simple solution to this or do I in fact need to install Oracle
Enterprise in order to use DBD::Oracle to connect to a remote server??
Thanks,
Phil
