Did you run make test when you installed DBD::Oracle with valid login and if so what was the output? > We've been having trouble since day one.

Example code with error output and schema for the tables involved might help us help you. It is relatively easy to build DBD::Oracle against Instant Client 11.2 - just get the basic, sdk and sqlplus zips, unzip them anywhere, set LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/where_you_unzipped them and export then run perl Makefile.PL, make. You should set your ORACLE_USERID, TWO_TASK or tnsnames up so sqlplus is working then run make test - does this succeed and if not what is the output? e.g. for my database here with a SID of "devel" where the database is running on betoracle.easysoft.local and my user is fred/password I do: export ORACLE_USERID=fred/password export TWO_TASK=//betoracle.easysoft/local/devel I can run sqlplus with: sqlplus -S fred/passw...@$betoracle.easysoft.local:1521/devel to connect and those exported variables allow a make test to run.
