I think you should be able to connect to 8.0, however, I do not know for sure about this, since I last used 8.0 ~ 5 years ago.
I always have the client (at least) installed. I don't think you could do this without the client. Maybe you could use ODBC without the Oracle client, but not sure about this either.

I read that somebody ( lenio ) wrote a script to build perl + dbi + dbd::oracle on solaris, I am interested in that script. Gael.
