DBD::Oracle on MacOSX using Instant Client

As another episode of the DBD::Oracle on MacOSX quest, I tried the
Oracle 10g Instant Client for 10.3 on Panther, using DBD::Oracle 1.16
(the latest I believe).
First the good news (and it's primarily good news). The Instant Client
is a charm to download and install (unless you can't type cp commands
in the terminal), it's compact in size, and, best of all, it works with
the pre-installed perl (5.8.1RC3 on Panther) without resulting in a
memory leak. I can only recommend to use this client installation if
you're not planning to run an Oracle server on MacOSX.
The minor details is that I had to patch DBD::Oracle's Makefile.PL to
cooperate with the somewhat unorthodox Instant Client directory setup.
I'm including the patch. The last step of the build phase, an
invocation of 'nmedit -R', fails because the symbols aren't found. I
find that this error can be safely ignored but didn't want to patch
Makefile.PL for it since I'm not knowledgeable as to how much other
platforms need the step.
I also edited README.macosx, patch included too.
Tim, let me know if you need me to provide something else too.

... The real root of the problem is that Oracle in its divine wisdom has compacted all the .so files into one so there is no way you c compiler can get them but of SQL on the Ubuntu Server it could be the case that the Makefile fort 1.19 is not recognizing it as a Linux server or alike. ...
