DBD-Oracle and Oracle versions

From lurking around this mail list over the years,I've seen numerous items relating to building
DBD-Oracle against a specific version of the Oracle
client software on *nix systems.
Example: if DBD-Oracle was built using version 9,
then the Oracle client is upgraded to 10g;
it is necessary to rebuild DBD-Oracle with the 10g client.
I have used Perl on HP/UNIX, AIX, Linux and Windows.
On the *nix systems, Perl came with the OS and I have
had to install the DBI and DBD-Oracle modules using
the standard make process. On windows, I used
ActiveState Active Perl and PPM to install DBI and
DBD-Oracle modules. In the windows environment I
never have to worry about which version of the Oracle
client is present and I can upgrade to a different
client version of Oracle without having to reinstall
the DBD-Oracle module.
What trick allows PPM modules to work regardless of
Oracle client versions? Ultimately, I'd like to know
if there is a way to 'make' the modules on *nix systems
so that they don't rely on a specific version?
Thanks in advance,
Paula
