If I compile the module for oracle 10g and move the build to a box that has
only oracle 9i, it will not work.
I can't be making different versions of the module for each aix box I have,
there is too many of them.
for example, the Oracle.so library is hardcoded to oracle 9i, so it would
not work on box that has 10g, since 9i does not exist.
#dump -H ./auto/DBD/Oracle/Oracle.so
./auto/DBD/Oracle/Oracle.so:
