seems to me that with perl and the right DBD::*.pm, YOU are the
one creating the client.
i think.
I just had these installed on a solaris server here at work and (the
sysadmin installed it, not me) I think you can get it all off cpan.
Installing the DBI and DBD modules is necessary for sure and I think
you'll need to install DBD:Oracle.pm (under @INC/DBD) separately but I
believe it's also available from cpan. You may also want to check out
the perldoc page on the oracle module or, alterantely, this web page:
