I wouldn't be using Oracle Binaries or Client Libraries. I would continue
to use Oracle 8i Binaries and Client Libraries while I connect to a
Database Schema created on Oracle 10g.

Shouldn't be a problem but you will have to compile DBD 1.17 against the old
8i client.
Not sure if it will like that though as I never tried it.

I've always heard that it's OK to use a newer Oracle client with an
older Oracle server, but that you can expect problems using old clients
with new servers. I think basic select/insert/update/delete statements
work pretty widely though.
