It's been a while but IIRC the Windows Instant Client just dumps everything into a \
single directory (at least as of the last version I installed, which would be 11.2) \
try setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH and any other needed environment vars to just \
$ORACLE_HOME.

The first step before trying to get DBI working is getting SQLPlus to work. Bet the \
LD_LIBRARY_PATH fix above fixes that as well.

Don't forget you also need to get the additional *Instant Client Package - SDK", \
since that has the header files needed to compile DBD::Oracle.
