I've tried to build this module using Oracle 10 for solaris 64 bit. The
problem is that the perl I have is 32 bit, so it does not like 64 bit shared
libraries. I could not find 32 bit libraries in the Oracle distribution.
There are some, but not all. To be honest, I have not installed Oracle, I
just perused the cpio file I downloaded and extracted files needed to build
the module.
I find it odd, that in order to build the module I need to install the whole
thing. I only need to access a DB from the host in question, not use the DB
on the host.
Am I doing something wrong? Do I need to build 64 bit perl?

Recent versions of DBD::Oracle (well - just the very latest - 1.16) can be
built against the Oracle Instant Client (SDK version).

Not sure - but there is a 32-bit Oracle Instant Client for Solaris.
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/tech/oci/instantclient/index.html
Given that there isn't a full Oracle installer for Solaris 32-bit this is
probably the best bet.
Search for "dbi-users" on Google or subscribe to; there have definitely been
some posts on the mailing list on how to build against Instant Client - I don't
recall if it works out-of-the-box yet.

Oracle comes with perl. And what's more: it actually works!

Well, I'd like to believe you, however you did not answer my questions. Do
I have to install Oracle in order to use DBD::Oracle to access DB on other
hosts?
I already have a perl with a lot of modules I need for other reasons. Do I
have to replace my perl with the one that comes with Oracle?

Although it's a 4-year old version of Perl (5.6.1, current is 5.8.6) and a
similarly old DBD-Oracle (1.12 vs 1.16 - lots of improvements since then).
