DBD::Oracle build on aix 6.1 ( host is a 64 bit db server )

The 64 bit Oracle server is loaded on this host.

Do I still have to load an Oracle client?

README.clients.txt says:

*** THE PREFERED METHOD IS TO USE Oracle Instant Client ***

So should I install the 'Oracle Instant Client' before attempting
the build of DBD::Oracle?

thanks!
