We've typically shied away from using perl embedded in the Oracle install for 
upgrade and patching reason.
As you switch homes you will have ot ensure that all your applications now have 
ot be certified . Havign perl outside of the install ensure that apps and db 
software are treated seperately

Subject: Oracle 11g Client -- Adding CPAN modules to Oracle PERL distribution?


Linux RedHat5 & Oracle 11g client

We have applications that interface to Oracle using the standard PERL/DBI 
interface.  Since the Oracle 11g Client includes PERL/DBI we would like to take 
advantage of it.  However, our software also uses other CPAN modules which are 
not included in the Oracle PERL distribution.

Is applying other CPAN modules to the Oracle 11g client software distribution 
acceptable practice?  If so, how would we compile modules which include C-based 
source.  Apparently the Oracle PERL software is compiled with the "icc" 
compiler 
which we do not have.

Just wondering how others take advantage of the Oracle PERL distribution but 
also include other CPAN modules.
