Our SOAP clients. I am not able/allowed to reveal code on that.
I might be able to reproduce an error message, but as I recall the
message, it did not hint to *anything* useful at all

No, they are fully 10g, but now the 10g /lib has three extra .so's from
12c and those timezone files: their 10g installation doesn't care if
there are a few extra files in there. They are just used by DBD::Oracle

FEEDBACK!

I have perl-5.18.2-ia64 running with 12c client in a 10g environment :)


It sounds like you have a client using 12c libraries from a mixed environment 
directory!
I'd have to ask "why?".  I couldn't recommend doing it.


Neither would I, BUT …

perl-5.14.2 and newer with OpenSSL-1.0.0 or newer and DBD::Oracle does
not work for quite a few of our applications when linking DBD::Oracle
to the 10g client that is available in the 10g database environment.


The problem is the interesting part. I'd like to know what "does not
work".



The client is not (yet) willing to move on to 11g or 12c, so the 10g is
there to stay.


It sounds like you've moved them, at least for Perl.
