Jeffrey,
The problem is that I need to know the version of the INSTANCE before

No. There is no need to use the same version of Oracle on the client
as is being used on the server. (Unless you are using the bequeather,

What is necessary is to set ORACLE_HOME to point as the same installation
of Oracle as was used to compile and link DBD::Oracle.
