Is this related and if so do you have some advice or guidance I can
share with our computing team that can get this resolved so our
customers don't have to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to use our tool and we don't
have to develop a wrapper for it?

If you don't control where the customer is going to install
Oracle's client libraries, then its impossible to a priori set the
runtime link path for DBD::Oracle's Oracle.so.

With Oracle Instant Client and Solaris 7 and newer, you might be
able to use $ORIGIN.
