I did this...It sucks but works...
a) Install a rh6.2 w/ Latest DBI(1.2 of this build) and Ora 8.1.7...
b) Build DBD::Oracle(1.12 as of this build) on the rh6.2 server...
c) Package files needed for rh7.2 and move over...
In theory though all you need to build the DBD driver are the two libs
at the bottom of the list which are really located in the ORAHOME
filesystem, dont remember where. But I keep a tarball around of the
files below and move them to all new rh7.2 systems that require client
based Oracle connectivity...
Good luck...
